In the next episode of Looking Forward Our Way, Matthew Goldstein, the founder of Besa, shares his experience building communities through volunteerism. Here are the three key takeaways:

• Besa facilitates volunteer opportunities for individuals and non-profits without barriers, with no application process or background checks needed for volunteers.

• Through Besa's relationships with media and diverse volunteer groups, non-profits gain increased exposure and capacity, as volunteers can become valuable resources.

• Volunteerism has decreased nationwide due to people being busy with work, but through communities like Besa, we have a chance to increase engagement and build meaningful relationships with others. Let's all strive to make a positive impact in our communities through volunteering!
