Email #3: Does Areena Want Women Members? Of Course! (12/4/15)

Have you ever volunteered at a food pantry or senior center or soup kitchen? Have you ever looked around the room at the other volunteers? Notice something interesting?

IT’S ALL WOMEN!

We are often asked if women can join Areena. Our answer is OF COURSE. If you take a look at the work we’ve done over the last few years you’ll notice women have been an integral part of our efforts.

But we don’t target women for membership and the reason is simple: women are doing their part already. Most studies tell us that between 70-75% of all volunteers in this country are women.

Where are the men? Why is half the population, with their specific and necessary skill set, completely absent in the communities that need them? Do they know what is available for them? We don’t think so. Do they not care? We know they do.

Areena enables men to be aware of what they can do and provides a way for them to act.

If you’re receiving this email and know a guy who should be out there getting involved, forward this to him. Encourage him to reach out to Areena. We’ll take care of the rest.
