In this episode of "Live Local, Give Local" listeners enjoy a great conversation between Dave Mason, the Host, this episode's co-host, David Drazenovich, the Director of Development for Palomar Family Counseling Service, Lisa Lindgren, the Executive Director of HandsOn San Diego (HOSD), and Curran Gaughan, the Director of Ignatian Volunteer Corps San Diego (IVC). As all non-profits know well, it is next to impossible to achieve the mission without the services provided by passionate volunteers, donating hours and hours of their time out of the goodness of their heart and their passion for the purpose.

But how do volunteers find the passion and purpose most connected to their heart? Well, HOSD and IVC exist for just that purpose. Whether is maintaining a calendar of volunteer opportunities or direct matching, we listen to a conversation as to how these two members of San Diego Gives deliver an absolutely priceless service to San Diego non-profits.

You know what else we heard? Two more examples of successful campaigns by following the playbook provided by San Diego Gives! Curran even mentions that as a small non-profit, the networking, expertise, and access to San Diego Gives University is of great value to IVC. That's exactly what we like to hear!
