❤️ 因为有你，WECAN可以做得更多更好
🙋 志愿者团队正式招募中！志愿者义工国会奖在向你召唤
过去一段时间，在社区朋友们的热情参与和大力支持下，WECAN陆续举办了多场大型社区活动。从邻里相聚、美食分享，到体育健身、亲子互动……一次次热热闹闹而温暖的相聚，让我们越来越深地感受到：社区的美好，不只是因为我们住得近，更因为我们愿意走近彼此。
每一次活动顺利举行的背后，都有许多志愿者默默付出的身影。有人策划活动，有人写稿做宣传，有人联系资源，有人搬桌椅、布置现场，有人照顾孩子、组织比赛，也有人在大家离开之后留下来收拾最后一个垃圾袋。正是这些看似平凡的付出，让一个个想法变成了现实，也让WECAN成为一个越来越有温度、有活力的社区平台。
🌱 我们希望策划更多社区真正需要、居民真正喜欢、家庭愿意参与的活动；希望为新居民提供帮助，为家庭创造交流机会，为青少年搭建成长平台。而要实现这些目标，WECAN最需要的不是"更多工作人员"，而是——更多愿意一起做点事情的邻居。❤️
与此同时，WECAN正在进一步完善志愿者服务和认可机制，包括正式启动志愿服务时间记录、符合条件的志愿者荣誉/奖励申请协助项目、WECAN年度志愿者表彰计划等。我们希望在WECAN：每一小时的付出都有记录，每一份善意都被珍惜，每一位志愿者都值得被看见、被感谢。
🙋 WECAN现面向社区招募以下志愿者团队
❤️ 1. 志愿者服务部 | Volunteer Services
如果你喜欢与人交流、组织协调，也愿意帮助更多人参与社区服务，这里非常适合你。协助招募和联系志愿者、建立志愿者服务档案、统计义工时间、协助符合条件者申报相关志愿服务荣誉与奖励，并策划志愿者交流、感谢和Team Building活动。
📣 2. 营销宣传部 | Marketing & Communications
会写文章？会摄影？喜欢Facebook？懂网站？欢迎加入！参与WECAN网站、微信群、Facebook等平台的内容策划、新闻稿撰写和发布；活动摄影与社区故事记录；宣传材料制作；并与当地媒体、社区宣传部门及相关机构建立沟通与合作。
🤝 3. 社区服务部 | Community Services
社区里，有时候真正让人感到温暖的，并不是一场大型活动，而是在需要的时候，有人愿意伸出手。社区服务部将关注居民日常生活中的互帮互助、便民服务和社区援助需求，协助策划、开发和管理相关公益项目，并逐步整合社区资源。
🌟 4. 青少年部 | Youth Development
我们同时招募两类志愿者：成人志愿者——如果你拥有教育、科技、商业、艺术、体育、创业或其他专业经验，非常欢迎加入。学生志愿者——如果你希望服务社区、认识伙伴、锻炼能力，并愿意把自己的创意真正变成项目，我们非常欢迎你！提出一个想法 → 组建一个团队 → 做成一个项目 → 服务一个社区。
⚖️ 5. 法律部 | Legal Advisory Team
随着WECAN社区项目不断发展，我们特别邀请具有法律背景的社区专业人士，以志愿方式参与WECAN法律顾问团队，在适合的专业领域为组织治理、公益活动、协议及相关法律事项提供指导和建议。用专业守护公益，让热情走得更稳、更远。
💡 "我很忙，还能做志愿者吗？"当然可以！
加入WECAN，并不意味着又给自己找了一份Full-Time Job。😊 你可以长期参与一个部门，也可以只负责一个项目；可以帮助策划一次活动，也可以一个月贡献几个小时；甚至只是把自己的某项专业技能，在社区真正需要的时候贡献出来。会写文章、会组织活动、会做网站、懂法律、喜欢和孩子相处、有商业和创业经验、擅长沟通协调，或者暂时什么都不会但愿意学、愿意帮忙——统统欢迎！最好的志愿者团队，不是每个人都无所不能，而是每个人贡献自己擅长的一点点。
"我不住在Wellesley，可以做志愿者吗？"当然可以！新的WECAN已经是一个链接了Wellesley、Dover、Sherborn和其他周边镇居民的扩大社区群。目前我们已经有了一个跨镇的、多样化的义工队伍，包容、多样是我们的宗旨。
❤️ 为什么值得加入？
因为志愿服务从来不是单向的"付出"。在这里，你可能认识原本住在附近却从未见过的邻居；找到志趣相投的朋友；把自己的专业能力用在一件有意义的事情上；和孩子一起参与社区服务；也可能帮助一个年轻人的好点子第一次真正落地。而很多年以后，当我们回头看，也许最值得记住的并不是我们参加了多少场活动，而是：这个社区的一些美好，我曾经参与创造。
🌱 让专业成为公益的力量
🤝 让邻居成为彼此的朋友
❤️ 让每一份志愿服务，都为社区留下一点温暖
WECAN志愿者团队正式招募中。期待这一次，名单里也有你。联系我们：info@wecanma.org ❤️ WE CAN.
