Informed Altruism: Service Shouldn't Feel Easy
Calvin Rausch |
TEDxUGA
• March 2023
Service has become trendy, but as a result, those serving are often guilty of attempting to solve problems for the impacted people, not with them. With experience volunteering domestically and abroad, Calvin Rausch has learned that service without knowledge is vandalism, not value. When serving feels easy, we are likely doing it wrong: we are likely failing to ask, listen, and respond to the root of the need. Here, Rausch reflects on her own personal experiences to advocate for informed altruism by asking questions first to put ourselves second.
