Aww I hope the ferals found a new home 🙏🏻🐾

[@bojangles3147]

So basically these are rich empty nesters, gotta love the energy.

[@jimmartinson4280]

Thanks for the video and for volunteering. Good work by good people.

[@KristinHentschel-so1lq]

We are not full timers, but we will be helping Y2V any time we can. We are scheduled to help out in both September and October! Great people! Great work!

[@ayeartovolunteer]

We look forward to meeting you guys!

[@rickrichardson5329]

This is wonderful to see people giving back while they are enjoying the different parks. God Bless you all

[@rodneymutzabaugh6605]

Wife and I just completed 3 months Camp Host at Killens Pond SP Felton, Delaware. Yes we cleaned but it was so rewarding in the experience we got. We met lots of great people (other Rvs and park employees) and swapped lots of stories around the campfires. Not to mention we lost weight. Yes, we will do more and great to see this Y2V as I will now look into it.

[@johnvance5168]

This is great. On a side note I live about 10 miles from the Versailles State Park project. I think we were actually camping at the park when that was being built and didn't know this was going on. Would love to help with one in future.

[@lynnstewart6250]

Once again, you and your group hit it out of the park. Thank you for all you do.

[@johnnylightning1491]

For those of you that may be thinking about A Year to Volunteer, don't think any longer, just do it, it's a great time!! Yes I found out about them through Today is Someday or at the time You Me and the RV. Hey to Phil and Shar it was fun working with you in Grand Haven, maybe I can fit in another one when we go full time in October. Keep the good stuff coming Phil and Stacy.

[@candycornett5061]

🎉great day for you guys giving back

[@willieiso118]

3:08 okay I know I'm going to sound strange, going out on a limb here, but watching this video "I saw" a bunch of geriatric hippies. Here we are going back to where we were over 40 years ago, living together in our magic buses, working on communal projects.yes commune-al. Just need some good ole music

[@marshamelk]

you got it! we worked hard and retired and now are giving back!

[@airstreamer]

🎵 Listen to the music… 🎶

[@marshamelk]

Like the comedian guy on snl said, "you are going to end up living in a van down by the river"

[@ayeartovolunteer]

You know it and we've got the music!! 😂☮

[@quicksoncamping2039]

That is truly amazing. I can not wait to help.

[@TheHungryCubanAdventures]

We love Y2V Phil and Shar are amazing people.

[@jmessick8163]

In a world oh so much craziness it is so refreshing and hopeful to see such wonderful people helping others! 😇 Thanks for sharing 💕 Many blessings, Linda

[@JohnnyLawBMC]

I love it! Thank you for sharing this with us. We will find, follow and Volunteer with them once we start travelling. We will be volunteering in Ukraine at the end of this year. We are going to love this lifestyle. Thank you all!

[@kimlittleton4943]

This is just awesome !!! Thanks for getting the word out.

[@KarileeT]

What a great idea! I want to RV full time, but I keep thinking I’ll be bored! This would be a great solution to boredom!

[@todayissomeday]

You will only be bored if you sit in your RV all day every day.

[@ayeartovolunteer]

EXACTLY! We felt the same way so we created this. Sitting in campgrounds looking at faces in rocks and holes in the ground definitely wasn't in the cards for us! haha

[@cathyjones7590]

Get a rig, then go to TX and certified as an NRVTA mobile tech and/or inspector and start your own business. You won't be bored! 😊

[@ForeverHuffsLiving]

We have volunteered on a couple of projects with Y2V and had a blast. Phil and Shar are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. We hope to join them again soon on another project. Great video!!

[@MilesAcrossUSA]

We love Phil and Shar and their organization. We are currently on the road to our 6th project with @AYearToVolunteer. We always meet amazing people and the work is always so rewarding.

[@darrenbonak]

Y’all are how we found out about Y2V, and looking forward to the next time we can help.

[@sharynlynmorgenstern9594]

This is phenomenal ! Thank you to all. Those who created these incredible opportunities, to Today is Someday for making us aware of these great opportunities and to those who give of their time ! Thank You !!!!

[@todayissomeday]

Our pleasure!

[@ajm1268]

This generation still have skills and talents that can be useful, nice job guy’s!

[@todayissomeday]

Thank you very much!

[@vivian6425]

This is just amazing! RVing with a purpose is so beneficial. I applaud everyone that will and can do this. Well-done! Great video and wonderful people that do this! Thanks so very much!

[@todayissomeday]

We agree!

[@foretravelman]

We are volunteers at a COE recreation area in CT now. The Corps is always needing help and a great way to give back. Wonderful parks and a beautiful part of the country!

[@ayeartovolunteer]

We see it!! We need to crack the code working within the federal system. A totally different animal as I'm sure you know. I'm sure one day, we'll jump on a COE project.

[@louiselevasseur7556]

Love love love Phil and Shar. We have done 5 Y2V projects and we are heading to our 6th now. ND is way up there (from FL) but not too far to work with this amazing group. @ayeartovolunteer. Thanks for being their PR department!

[@markmattson4752]

👍wow they are a impressive couple ! I guess there is still faith in humanity!!!!

[@kathykeene2092]

Great work everyone! You are appreciated by so many…. Countless!

[@laurakilmer8652]

This is great wonderful people volunteering. Thanks for sharing.

[@Spenttheirinheritance]

We can't wait to help them....

[@brianlykins6663]

Great video, great topic, and great folks doing extraordinary work. God bless ya'll for bringing this to a larger audience and potentially more volunteers. Ya'll never cease to surprise and entertain. Stay safe on your travels.

[@TwoCaptainsOneShip]

Great work being done here. God Bless you all…when the time comes…count us in!!

[@jeffdraughn4998]

i really wish we could have came and helped out with this project as this state park is only an hour from our home. We go to this state park as much as possible.

[@guttergirl5939]

Omgosh! This is so cool!

[@ariannecollman1972]

I hope I can find some opportunities in the PNW when I'm ready to RV later this year!

[@deandobbs2727]

How awesome! God bless you guys

[@TheRVWingman]

Awesome! Keep up the great work!!… Lisa

[@phillipcustance1618]

This is so cool. I really wish I could go live the lifestyle now!! Safe travels to you all....🍻✌😎

[@marionmoulton5847]

Love to see this. Chippokes is such a great park.

[@ayeartovolunteer]

We loved staying there so much! What a great staff too!

[@davidjackman5773]

Bravo Zulu, Guys! Great work for a great cause.

[@dianasellars6114]

What an AWESOME example they are!

[@Lbeam82]

Nice work!

[@tanya334]

Awesome ❤

[@drpops66]

You guys are amazing

[@MaryWehmeier]

Love it! We’d like to volunteer in the COE and Regional County Parks in Southern California.

[@jeffsteele1295]

wow you two are really Great people. Love everything you do to help other ! Jeff and Donna

[@daydreamer0923]

Amen 🙏

[@BillSprague]

I’m an old widower who’d love to volunteer but I find most of these outfits prefer couples. Is that the case with Y2V? I’m also an an engineer, if that fits anywhere. Thanks!

[@ayeartovolunteer]

Hi Bill! That’s is not the case with us. We love solo volunteers and always have a few at every project! Hope to see you on a project sometime!

[@EXTEZZEE]

Parks have money and budgets to do this. It's up to those in charge if they do it. If they do not spend the money, then budget is cut. Where are they spending the money?

[@ayeartovolunteer]

Hi @EXTEZZEE - Hey, thanks for commenting and we'd love to explain from our perspective. Oh, we wish it was as simple as poor fiscal management, but we've learned that it's just not the case. In reality, many park systems self-fund. In which case, they share their revenue across all the parks and funding gets tighter for everyone, equally. When they do receive a state budget, it's often one of the lowest-priority line items for the state, so when times are tight, they lose it. The biggest hit parks face though is available manpower. There's simply not enough to go around and they're overwhelmed. No one ever works in parks to make money, they do it for the love of the job and those folks are few and far between. This is why just about every park relies on a healthy volunteer program (park, admin, and camp hosting, etc) and friends groups who raise money and try to help run and maintain the park. During the pandemic, parks were overrun by campers. This taxed their maintenance needs and the damage from bad campers to their infrastructure, these parks were doing everything they could just to get by. Enter Y2V!! We are so happy we found this awesome niche to lend them a helping hand where they really need it most....to tackle big ticket items off of their to-do list with folks who just want to get their hands dirty and help. Free work by people who love to do it. A total win-win! 😀

[@ADAdams-wn1nc]

Whoever is scraping paint off the old museum make sure you have an N95 mask on as most old paint has lead in it. A lot of old buildings have asbestos in many of the building materials so same thing on wearing safety equipment.

[@ayeartovolunteer]

You know it and we checked (the building was built in the early 90s). We won't even touch suspected asbestos the organizations we help are usually on top of the asbestos mitigation plan!

[@richardhowe5583]

I like treats especially grilled hot dogs and hamburgers😊

[@RV_Tips_Tricks_Travel]

You guys have any stickers?

[@solaroc501]

What did they do with the cats?

[@todayissomeday]

They were rehomed.

[@carychiasson9834]

They had all the ducks sitting on the basketball bench, since they all fouled out.

[@LilyWasHereMB]

I am fine nomads helping out, building community, strengthening family, giving back, etc.; not only is it a great thing, its a noble thing. What I am not okay with is when the recipient is, directly or indirectly, a: (a) governmental entity (can tax or fee, to raise funds) (b) for profit corporation (working for free for a for-profit, is a "tax" on the poor and a gift to the rich (c) non-tax paying entity with bloated boards and overpaid management (taxpayer supported by virtue of tax status, not enough money goes to mission)

[@ayeartovolunteer]

Hi! Thanks so much for commenting. Just to answer a couple of your observations and where we fit! We opted to help state park systems because many have to self-generate their own revenue or receive limited funding from the state's general fund and we RVers use and abuse them. We noticed quickly that just about all of the state park systems we've assisted are underfunded, understaffed, and overworked - irrespective of how their states support them. So, we decided to help and it is working so well. Think of it as RVers thanking them for giving us great places to visit and taking care of our precious resources while they manage the day-to-day management of their parks. They need so much more help. For the nonprofits we support (we never work with private for-profit entities), all are small, do amazing things to improve our society, but are likewise underfunded and overworked. At just about every one we've helped, the founder/director doesn't receive a paycheck. It's the small overlooked ones we love to help! Thanks so much for commenting and hope to see you out there on the road! Phil & Shar

[@EXTEZZEE]

Oh dang. Thought were going to help those people who are forced into RV/Vanlife who are on SSDI/SSI struggling and starving. LOl. Ok then. Wow. Yeah, we people that are not KZbinr people, need to help each other, .

[@stugryffin3619]

😑 I thought you was in trouble

[@kennethcook5705]

I saw an RV accident on KZbin and I’m just praying that it wasn’t you two that were killed in this tragedy. I think the person driving fell asleep.

[@todayissomeday]

That is awful! Was not us.

[@JerryDLTN]

It's a shame the donations goes to items being placed at each location (lumber, paint, etc) instead of things to make the jobs easier and can be used again (tools, etc)

[@ayeartovolunteer]

Hi Jerry - most of us bring our own tools and the organizations we help have tools and shops so we really don't have much need there. Occasionally, we'll help them with a small tool here and there although it's the supplies that are the most needed and where we can really do the most good. Ask any Y2Ver and you'll hear that Shar is great and making sure we reuse everything we can and leave it for them when we head out (brushes, trays, etc). 😃
