Happy Volunteers' Week from Shift.ms 💚
Every year, we spend a week shouting about the tireless work that our volunteers do to make Shift.ms, Shift.ms.
From hosting a takeover, to testing new app features, to creating videos for us, every second you put in makes our community grow stronger.
Our volunteers (AKA The Energy) are the lifeforce behind Shift.ms. The Buddy Network literally wouldn't exist without you. Let's shout about what they do! Drop a comment to show how much you appreciate our community 👇
PS. If you want to get involved in volunteering yourself, comment below saying 'I want to volunteer' and I'll message you (I've scheduled this post as I'm currently on annual leave so don't worry if there's a delay).
Thanks,
El
First comment on the appreciation train! 🚂 I don’t think there are enough words to describe how much I adore our volunteers. They support new MSers, make content, help us to develop new features, share AMAZING ideas & feedback, and even help us to test (and occasionally break 😅) new things before they go live... and so much more. They truly are involved at every stage, and we wouldn’t be here without them. Shout out to the awesome volunteers that help us make the community a safe, kind and friendly place for everyone. Endless love for The Energy. 💚⚡️ Ps. If you’re interested in getting involved in the app side of things, I’m your gal. Just reply or send me a DM. 👩🏻💻 PPS. Nobody asked me to write this - I genuinely just love our community so much that I could sing it from the rooftops. 💚
You've got to be the hero of your own movie. 🎬 I looked for an experienced veteran MSer to show me the ropes when I was diagnosed in 2019. Didn't find many. 😂 So I became my own social mentor. Tried things, failed at things, learned a few tricks, and kept what worked. Six years later I'm still here, still walking, still training, still winding people up on Shift.ms. 😎💪
