Finance professional urges young professionals to engage in local volunteering as a path to personal growth and collective prosperity

Texas, US, 13th May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Spencer Short, a Digital VEA at Morgan Stanley and Texas A&M graduate, is calling on young professionals across the country to invest their time—not just in careers—but in their communities. Drawing on years of personal experience in volunteer service, Short is advocating for greater involvement in local charitable efforts to foster both personal development and long-term community well-being.

“Too often we think prosperity is only about money or climbing a career ladder,” said Short. “But I’ve found that volunteering gave me more perspective, stronger connections, and made me better at everything—including my job.”

A Call to Do More

Short, originally from San Antonio and now based in Atlanta, has volunteered with a range of organizations including Habitat for Humanity, Mobile Loaves & Fishes, Special Olympics, and The Food Bank. His involvement began as a teenager and continued through college and into his professional life.

“I wasn’t always sure of myself in school or in work,” Short said. “Volunteering gave me real confidence because it taught me how to show up for others first. That changes how you show up for yourself.”

According to a study by UnitedHealth Group, 76% of people who volunteer say it makes them feel healthier, and 78% report that it lowers their stress. Another 95% say that volunteering adds purpose to their lives. Data from the Corporation for National and Community Service shows that communities with higher volunteer engagement have stronger civic health, better educational outcomes, and lower poverty rates.

“It’s not just feel-good stuff. There’s real evidence that when people give their time, whole communities do better—educationally, economically, even physically,” Short added.

Building the Skills Money Can’t Buy

Short believes community service is particularly valuable for young adults just starting their careers. “Volunteering builds soft skills—communication, teamwork, resilience—that you won’t find in a classroom or Zoom call,” he said. “It also puts you in situations that test your priorities and your values. That stays with you.”

In today’s rapidly changing work environment, where soft skills are increasingly valued, community involvement provides a unique and authentic setting to develop them. According to LinkedIn’s 2023 Global Talent Trends report, 92% of talent professionals say soft skills are just as important—or more important—than hard skills.

More Than a Resume Booster

While service can help build a resume, Short emphasizes that the deeper reward is personal.

“Volunteering has helped me reset when I’ve felt stuck or lost,” he shared. “You start to see your own problems differently when you’re helping someone else through theirs. It gives you perspective, which is hard to teach.”

A Simple First Step

For those unsure of how to begin, Short recommends starting local and keeping it consistent.

“You don’t need to fly overseas or make a big donation,” he said. “Start with one afternoon a month. Pick something you care about—housing, hunger, youth sports. Just show up and see what happens.”

There are more than 1.5 million nonprofit organizations in the United States, according to the National Center for Charitable Statistics, and most rely heavily on volunteers. Even an hour a week can make a measurable difference.

Spencer Short encourages others—especially college students and young professionals—to find one local organization and get involved. “Don’t wait for the perfect opportunity,” he said. “Pick one and learn as you go. The reward is often greater than you expect.”

To find a local opportunity, visit:

  • www.volunteermatch.org

  • www.habitat.org/volunteer

  • www.feedingamerica.org/take-action

“You don’t need to be in a position of power to have impact,” Short concluded. “You just need to show up, help out, and keep going.”

Press Release

Dubai Land Mafia Exposed: Indian Businessman Cries for Justice After Alleged AED 50 Million Property Scam

Published

24 minutes ago

on

July 3, 2025

By

Dubai, UAE – June 2025 — In a shocking revelation that has stirred public outcry across the UAE and India, Mr. Satish Gogia—a 63-year-old paraplegic businessman and long-time Dubai resident—has accused two individuals, Mr. Ronak Sanjay Siroya and his father Mr. Sanjay Siroya of Siroya Jewellers, Bur Dubai, of orchestrating a high-value property scam involving coercive lending, inflated rental contracts, and alleged money laundering.

 

Gogia, who has been confined to a wheelchair for years, claims he has been systematically stripped of real estate assets worth over AED 50 million under the guise of financial assistance. What started as a request for a loan in May 2023 has allegedly turned into a calculated campaign of exploitation by a duo he describes as operating a “land mafia under the garb of gold traders.”

 

The Allegations

According to formal complaints filed with multiple authorities including the Dubai Police CID, RERA, the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), Indian Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Consulate General of India in Dubai, Gogia’s nightmare began when he sought help from Mr. Ronak Siroya for financial support after personal business losses.

The Siroyas allegedly agreed to provide AED 15 million in exchange for one of Gogia’s prime properties—Flat 4701, Al Bateen Residence, JBR, valued at AED 24 million. However, only AED 11 million was paid, and the property was registered under their name for a suspiciously low AED 10.8 million, while Gogia himself was forced to pay stamp duty on AED 17 million—the government’s minimum valuation of the asset.

Instead of interest, a rent agreement was fabricated—stating a monthly rent of AED 300,000, nearly four times above the market rate. Over time, this was allegedly increased to AED 340,000, accompanied by threats of eviction and seizure.

 

A Pattern of Abuse and Asset Stripping

Gogia accuses the Siroyas of creating a deceptive financial trap, wherein:

 

  • Only 50% of a property’s value was offered as a loan
     
  • Properties were transferred in their name upfront
     
  • Exorbitant interest was masked as inflated rent via Ejari contracts
     
  • Delayed payments resulted in new penalties, increasing interest from 1.5% to as high as 5% monthly
     
  • Four of his properties—including offices in JLT and another apartment in JBR—were taken over through this mechanism
     

“These weren’t isolated transactions. It was a blueprint,” Gogia states. “Each move was calculated to force a default and absorb my assets.”

 

Allegations of Money Laundering and Political Links

In a particularly alarming revelation, Gogia has alleged that portions of the cash disbursed to him were handed over in Mumbai, not Dubai—raising red flags on cross-border black money movement. He claims that Sanjay Siroya explicitly told him that part of the cash belonged to Maharashtra Chief Minister Mr. Eknath Shinde.

Supporting documents—including WhatsApp chats, payment receipts, cancelled cheques, and screenshots—have reportedly been submitted to the concerned authorities. Gogia has appealed to the Indian Enforcement Directorate to initiate a probe into this alleged political-financial nexus.

 

Current Legal Status

  • FIRs and complaints have been lodged with Dubai Police and financial crime units
     
  • Cheques issued to the Siroyas have been stopped pending investigation
     
  • A formal appeal has been made to freeze property transactions executed under coercion
     

In his latest statement, Gogia declared:

“If justice is not delivered within 7 days, I may be forced to end my life. I hold Ronak and Sanjay Siroya fully responsible.”

 

A Call for Action

Gogia has called upon media outlets, legal institutions, and human rights organizations to take notice. He also appealed to Shiv Sena’s Uddhav Thackeray, urging action against this “deep-rooted nexus between money power and political protection.”

He ends his appeal with a plea for dignity and survival—not just for himself, but for other potential victims of such alleged financial predation.
