To say that Cyndi Meuchel has been a lifelong volunteer is an understatement. A daughter of passionate volunteers, she started at the ripe age of 8.
Cyndi recently joined host Alexander Lapa on his podcast, Agents of Nonprofit to discuss the evolving world of volunteerism. The discussion centered around the ever-changing realm, shedding light into her journey as a “serial volunteer” making a positive impact. The two discussed how one person’s dedication can ripple through communities, creating lasting change.
The conversation went through various aspects of volunteerism in today’s landscape, starting with the decline in volunteer numbers in the U.S. Cyndi shared insights contributing to the shift. They also cover the way in which technology has impacted volunteerism.
The topic of micro-volunteerism arose as a potential approach to the problem, as it allows individuals to contribute in smaller, more specific ways.
What makes Cyndi’s story even more inspiring is her role as the Co-Founder of MoneyMinder. Alongside her partner Donna, they created MoneyMinder to offer volunteers a better way to manage finances, ensuring their focus remains on the core mission of making a positive impact. The platform provides user-friendly tools that streamline financial tasks at a price that’s friendly to nonprofits.
Cyndi’s dual role as a dedicated volunteer and entrepreneur speaks volumes about her commitment to empowering others on their journey of service. Cyndi hopes that, by sharing her story in ways such as this podcast, it will inspire others to find their own way to contribute positively to their communities.
