At More Than Foundation, we believe healing must live in every part of our mission—including how we support the volunteers who carry it forward.

​

We are proud to be one of the first global nonprofits to formally integrate daily mental health and wellness breaks into our volunteer structure, across all roles and countries we serve.

​

What This Means for Our Volunteers:

• 1 Hour of Every 8-Hour Shift is protected for mental health—uninterrupted time for rest, reflection, prayer, journaling, or quiet.

• 1.5 Hours When Physical Movement Is Chosen—extra time for walks, stretching, exercise to support holistic wellbeing.

• 1 Hour Protected Break Time is standard. Nourishment and pause are non-negotiable.

• No Questions Asked, No Guilt Attached. These breaks are a right for every volunteer.

 

Why We Do This:

Trauma-informed work demands trauma-informed support for volunteers. Burnout and secondary trauma are real. Joy, dignity, and restoration are, too.

We cannot build a more just and healed world unless our people are whole, rested, and well.

​

At More Than Foundation, wellbeing isn't extra. It's essential. We don't just work differently. We rest differently, too.
