John’s Story – Volunteering, Community and Living His Values at BHRR
Dec 1, 2025 · 2 min read · · Volunteer
John
Volunteering for BHRR satisfies my desire to tread lightly on the planet while being connected to my community in a meaningful way.
The co-founders and other volunteers together have created a positive and welcoming village that I feel fortunate to be part of.

I also think that it’s really important to model the behaviour and energy that I hope my children will share. BHRR enables me to do that frequently, in a variety of ways, and as well as lead by example in day-to-day life.
