Have you ever wondered if you can include Giving Back in your plans when you are traveling abroad? Well I wondered the same thing when I started to travel more a few years ago. As I planned my first trip to Paris in 2016, I decided to Google organizations that may be in need of volunteers during my stay. I found a few . Some of them were understandably looking for more consistent support and weren't as open to a visitor on holiday. But I found two that were open and happy to

Want to Learn the Easiest Way to Keep Your Volunteers? Watch This!

The New Giving Back With Gail Vlog Lesson of the Day: Done is Better than Perfect!

Hi, I'm Gail and I have a great big purpose that scares the heck out of me. Lol! Most of the time though, I sit in pure gratitude for this great big heart of mine and for my desire to do my part to change the world. So when I decided to add the vlog to my repertoire, I immediately started overthinking and wondering if it would be good enough. I took a deep breath and just recorded what was on my heart: A reintroduction to the community of who I am and what Giving Back With Ga

Change is Good:The GBWG Blog is Getting a Makeover

When I decided to create Giving Back With Gail, I knew that I wanted to create a space where I could bring together a community of people all working towards the goal of making the world a better place. Along that line, it was mentioned to me that perhaps I should add a blog to my website. I was hesitant as I'd never done one before, but I was also excited to have another way to share my love of service with the world. So for the past year, (with an unexpected hiatus here and

Ready to Change the World? Surround Yourself with People who Inspire You

I had an entirely different blog written for this week before I went to a workshop last night that sparked a fire in me that I was very much in need of.

My first step a few months ago was to join the organization Be Social Change. I RSVP’d for their Goal Setting/Life Visioning workshop and am I ever glad that I did. I feel excited about what’s next. I m

Want to Know Your Type? Donate Blood and Find Out!

I am a huge proponent for consistent Blood Donation. It’s something that I feel strongly about and I share with people every chance that I get. I want to share a little something with you...if you are a blood donor, you are literally helping to save a life and in my eyes you are a hero, a champion, a protector and a warrior. Basically, you are a badass. We walk through this life just trying to survive from day to day but it’s the moments when we stop thinking of ourselves and

Looking for Love? Date A Volunteer!

Do you currently have a volunteer in your life? Someone who sees that they can make a difference in the world. Someone who gives from their heart on a daily basis. Someone who knows that working together to fight hunger, protect the environment and the like is the only way that we can truly bring about change. If you do, hold onto to them, because these are the people who bring light into this world. Finding someone to date and share your life with is not always simple. Like

Super Heroes Needed:Let’s Change the World Together

Everyday I see some injustice in the world; people without a place to call home or enough food to eat, the environment being taken for granted, etc. I know that I’m not alone in this. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by it all and to think that you don’t have the power to do anything about it. Let me introduce you to the very thing that will change your mind: Volunteering. You’re probably saying to yourself, well that can’t be all there is to it Gail. But it is. I steadfastly be
