In April, Herd Strategies is celebrating National Volunteer Month by highlighting local volunteer organizations and opportunities, showcasing ways we can use our passions, values and skillsets to #giveback and lift up our communities. Our first feature of the month is Caroline Durava, associate director of advancement for We Bloom, a local Indianapolis nonprofit focused on catalyzing health in communities.

April is National Volunteer Month, so the Herd team decided to spend the next several weeks celebrating the contributions of volunteers in our community and organizations that rely on volunteers for their success. Volunteering is something I am passionate about. I learned very early in my life about the impact of volunteering, just taking time out of your day to make someone else's day a little brighter.

This March, Herd Strategies has celebrated Women’s History Month by highlighting women who share stories, uplifting and amplifying the experiences of themselves and others. Our final feature of the month is Eunice Trotter, an awarded author, journalist, genealogist and storyteller of Indiana history.
