  • Janet Nahirny: Getting Back by Giving Back

    Janet Nahirny: Getting Back by Giving Back
    Apr 24 2023
    April is National Volunteer Month. In today’s podcast we introduce you to a congregant who has turned volunteering into her full-time gig. From Atlanta, to Yale, to prosecuting criminals, Janet Nahirny switched from practicing law to devoting her time to various causes near and dear to her heart. A few of those causes include voting rights, helping to end racism, and supporting disadvantaged people. When the 2016 election came around Janet began to volunteer her time at a phone bank encouraging people to get out and vote. Post-election, she decided to concentrate her time at the Movement Voter Project, an initiative focused on communities of color and/or youth, especially in key battleground states and districts. Janet is also very dedicated to Beacon Academy, an organization that supports limited resource students and prepares them for acceptance into independent high schools. As National Volunteer Month comes to a close, listen as Janet describes how in addition to giving to so many, she receives much in return.
