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 formally integrate daily mental health and wellness breaks into our volunteer structure across every role at MTF.

​

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, or 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 Florida 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.
