Volunteer Nation host, Tobi Johnson has over 25 years of experience working in a variety of nonprofit and public sector organizations and roles from volunteer to executive leadership. She will share her expertise in nonprofit leadership on the show.

"Before the COVID pandemic we were experiencing unprecedented interest in volunteerism in the U.S., with volunteer rates higher than they've been in over a decade However, over the past two years volunteer opportunities have dropped to one-third that level, according to our research." said Ms. Johnson.

"To re-ignite that dedication and commitment to service, it will take a collective effort to amplify the message that people are still very much at the center of change for the better. This podcast is our contribution to the larger effort of revitalizing volunteerism."
