bKIND bGRATEFUL- Celebrates National Volunteer Week

Celebrating National Volunteer Week with bKIND bGRATEFUL

To celebrate National Volunteer Week, Trauma to Triumphs, Inc. (bKind) launched bKIND bGRATEFUL, an initiative to show appreciation for the incredible volunteers who dedicate their time, skills, and generosity to strengthen nonprofit causes and enrich lives. 

bKIND bGRATEFUL offers 30-60 minute virtual GRATITUDE YOGA sessions to volunteer teams directly at their workspace, a program that can extend throughout the 2026 International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development, in gratitude for those who give so much.  Volunteers are invited to gather their teams and select a date for a Gratitude Yoga session. Sessions can be held right at your desk or in a corporate meeting space, with participants seated comfortably around a table—making it easy, inclusive, and accessible for everyone.

Consistent with the mission of our corporate sponsors and dedicated volunteers, these sessions are designed to foster:

·  An attitude of gratitude and a positive mindset

·  Improved mental and physical wellness 

·  Deepened sense of connection with self and others

·  Increased productivity, energy, and motivation

·  A thriving culture of caring, well-being, unity, and joy for all
