Volonter
Volonter is the Russian word for giving one’s time.
And while many people volunteer to help others, few know how to coordinate and manage volunteers. And that’s where Amway Russia could offer some help and expertise, based on our tradition of mobilizing distributors and employees to care for the communities in which we do business.
Our colleagues in Russia have offered training programs to train our distributors to coordinate events, encourage others to volunteer, and work with organizations to meet their volunteer needs. Nearly 300 distributors have been trained in eleven cities, including Moscow and St. Petersburg.
After the training, our distributor volonters have immediately put their learning into action – many volunteering at Russian orphanages and encouraging and training others to do the same.
Amway Russia plans to expand the program this year to train more people to help more organizations in need.
