N‑able VoluNteer Spotlight: Yakau Shtykau
By N‑able
We love sharing how our N-ablites around the globe use their two fully paid VoluNteer Days each year. From local events to widespread initiatives, we roll up our sleeves and serve others to make a positive impact in our communities. When we come together in the name of giving, the result is a culture that drives progress and changes lives—one story at a time.
Yakau Shtykau, Senior Software Engineer from our Warsaw Collaboration Hub, partnered with Schronisko Pegasus, an organization providing shelter for rescued animals. Let’s take a closer look at this VoluNteer story (and the furry friends who were given a helping hand!).
Why do you support Schronisko Pegasus?
I have a passion for animals and want to ensure they all have a safe place to call home. The stories of the animals at this shelter have touched my heart, and I felt N-spired to do my part in helping the organization’s cause. A number of these animals have had a hard past and I want to ensure the animals know they are loved, comfortable, and live a happy life at the shelter.
What did you do while volunteering?
From a FuN-raising perspective I supported the organization by purchasing some necessary items for the animals, and took my VoluNteer Day to re-paint animal enclosures and fences to help improve the overall environment of the shelter. The best part was that I was able to do all of this alongside a dedicated team of N-ablite VoluNteers! We were able to continue connecting with each other while contributing to our community. After a great day’s work helping the shelter, we were also able to have a bit of fun with the animals by feeding and playing with them. It was a wonderful experience to give to this amazing organization with my fellow N-ablites!
Which N‑able core value do you feel you displayed and why?
On my VoluNteer Day, I feel I was able to display what it means to N-Spire Others. I believe it’s crucial to support animals in need, and I was able to use my passion for this cause to hopefully N-spire Others to do the same. Together, we can demonstrate kindness prevails even when some animals haven’t had the easiest start in life and raise awareness for how valuable it is to take care of the animals in our community too.
Thank you, Yakau, for making a difference and sharing your passion for serving others! Stay tuned for more N-spiring stories from across the globe. In the meantime, check out some recent VoluNteer Spotlights:
