Volunteer engagement leaders are skillful in adapting to new circumstances. This year however, micro and macro changes in our communities, like the coronavirus pandemic, have created the need for more innovation as well as the reevaluation of current programs. Meeting evolving needs across our state means that leaders must continue to mobilize Floridians to serve.
