"Volunteering is an incredible way to get to know your city, network & meet people, and ultimately to give you a leg-up as you are maybe looking to make a career change or get plugged in."

Philanthropy and Memphis go hand-in-hand. But where does our city rank in comparison to other cities? What is the ROI of volunteering? Dannon Thornton of Volunteer Odyssey shares the impact of VTO (volunteer time off), benefits to both employees & employers, and how Volunteer Odyssey is celebrating a decade of service to the 901.
