BRiCKs Alliance, Inc.

BRiCKs Alliance, Inc. is an intergenerational organization founded in the belief that Building Relationships in Community is Key for systemic change and sustainable development...because we are better together. The mission of BRiCKs Alliance, Inc. is to tackle urgent community needs by reframing volunteer experiences through education, example, and inclusive civic engagement. - We provide workshops that educate on how to reframe volunteer experiences by introducing new volunteerism terminology that helps to focus on building social connectedness across diverse groups. (#SDG3, #SDG10, #SDG17) - We sponsor a chapter of Circles USA as a successful example of a relationship-based movement that is working toward ending poverty by harnessing the power of community through new volunteering approaches. (#SDG1, #SDG2, #SDG3, #SDG8) - We promote inclusive civic engagement by emboldening people to expand their social connectedness and amplify their voices in community for sustainable positive change. (#SDG4, #SDG5, #SDG11, #SDG12, #SDG13, SDG#16) We aim to reach every single organization that seeks volunteers to influence adoption of a consistent terminology for describing volunteer opportunities to a volunteer that helps them connect their contribution to the intended impact of the activity. We believe that using this consistent categorization (GIVE, DO, ENGAGE, and ADVOCATE) for volunteer opportunities, in conjunction with increasing organizations' awareness of and consistent use of the UN's SDGs, (sustainabledevelopment.un.org) which demonstrate the impact of volunteer experiences, will help organizations increase volunteer engagement.
