Volunteers make the nonprofit world go round – they save money, offer needed skills, bring renewed energy, and increase community ownership. Sustaining their passion for your work is vital.
Join us in exploring the reasons why volunteers, who start their service with excitement, may lose interest and the steps you can take to keep them engaged, happy, and satisfied. We’ll discuss ways to strengthen volunteer commitment by:
- Providing training, guidance, and feedback.
- Making the best use of time.
- Acknowledging contributions.
- Recognizing and addressing signs of burnout.
- Identifying new opportunities.
Tickets are $18/per person. Please reach out to paige@thehivesd.org if ticket pricing is prohibiting your attendance. Scholarships are available.

Lee and Toni Leichtag established the Leichtag Foundation in 1991 following the sale of their business. Lee and Toni were lifelong entrepreneurs with a passion for innovation and for supporting talent. They believed that only with big risk comes big reward. Both born to families in poverty, Toni to a single mother, they strongly believed in helping those most in need and most vulnerable in our community. While they supported many causes, their strongest support was for young children and the elderly, two demographics who particularly lack voice in our society.

You would think that as the executive director of San Diego LGBT Pride, Fernando Zweifach López Jr., who uses the pronoun they, has done all the coming out they possibly can. A queer, non-binary individual who has worked for many years on civil rights issues, López also speaks openly and often about their father’s family, Mexican-American migrant workers who tilled the fields of rural California.
