Beard Brothers are an unconventional NGO, a brotherhood of bearded men with a spirit of initiative who want to change mentalities through active social involvement. The group decries social stereotypes and discrimination of any kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe started changing mentalities in 2013, and nine years later, we have 12 primary campaigns finished, over 50 auxiliary ones, 201 events made, 432 active colleagues, and the drive needed to continue what we started,\u201d shares Stet Lucian, President of Beard Brothers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beard Brothers are involved in many fields: volunteering, forestation actions, health care campaigns, education and mentoring. The healthcare campaign includes the Social Ambulance for transporting patients with disabilities, free of charge. Yardi Romania supports the operation of one of the two Beard Mobile vans. Costs to operate the van are approximately $15,000 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funds from Yardi keep Beard Brothers\u2019 services up and running. Without the support of Yardi, there would be expenses that are impossible to cut, and they would not be able to develop and improve campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are constantly working to maintain and exceed expectations,\u201d shares Lucian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the nine years of operation, we have had 12 extensive campaigns finished, all important&nbsp;and meaningful for the society around us.\u201d \u201cThe most impactful would be our transport service for patients&nbsp;with disabilities; it was founded in 2015, it&#8217;s free of charge, and it has an average of 3000 trips per year,\u201d said Lucian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the year ahead, Beard Brothers plan to work on their 13<sup>th<\/sup> campaign called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beard-brothers.ro\/bbschool\/\"><strong>BBSchool<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBBSchool is our most extensive campaign yet,\u201d said Lucian. \u201cIt consists of opening a new vocational school from the ground up, where participants can learn necessary skills, like electricians, welders, plumbers, etc.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Beard Brothers school is where people will assimilate knowledge necessary for personal and professional development. \u201cWe strongly believe we can revive these skills and give them the \u2018coolness\u2019 they are missing in the present,\u201d shared Lucian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Volunteer Opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yardi employees or other community members can always get more involved with activities at Beard Brothers. At the end of the year, they will have a schedule for the next year ahead so you can plan future involvement.
