We’ll work with you to create volunteer experiences that bring together your CSR programs and DEI efforts. We’ll develop an immersive half-day volunteer experience to be completed on-site at a nonprofit partner in our community with a mission that aligns with your DEI goals. Customized projects are perfect for ERGs, work teams and employees looking for deeper connection to community.
Volunteer United offers a variety of ready-to-go, team volunteering opportunities that have an immediate impact in our community. Choose from culturally specific pantry packs, school supply packs, household essential packs, literacy packs, social emotional learning packs, and more, or let us create a custom Pack for Impact project specific to your company’s engagement goals and community interest areas.
Employees can leverage their professional skills and experience to build capacity and drive long-term impact for nonprofits in our community. When employees participate in our skills-based volunteer program, it builds leadership skills, fosters collaboration and creates a broader sense of purpose within the community.
Consider supporting one of our annual community-wide volunteer initiatives, such as Flavors of Our Community, Action Day or Home For Good. These large-scale events offer a variety of volunteer options for businesses and ERGs. Engagement opportunities include volunteering in-person at the event, hosting an exclusive satellite event at your place of business or promoting Volunteer At Home opportunities to your employees to engage remote/hybrid workers as well as family and friends.
Each of our annual impact initiatives require year-round financial support from our community and business partners to help support urgent community needs in the areas of food, education and housing. Consider sponsoring an event such as Flavors of Our Community, Action Day or Home For Good with a financial or in-kind product donation.
However you choose to participate, Volunteer United’s team of experts provide comprehensive, start-to-end project management and execution services to ensure your company’s workplace volunteer event is a success. In addition to partnering with you to develop your employee engagement strategy, we’re pleased to offer the following support services:
Our volunteer events provide essential items in the areas of food, housing and education to support people across our community. A budget is necessary to cover the cost of supplies and the services provided by the Volunteer United team. We offer projects for a wide range of budgets and will partner with you to create a project that aligns with your budget.
Our team needs a minimum of four weeks from the date your project scope is finalized until the date of your event to plan and prepare for a volunteer project.
We are available to partner with you year-round!
There is no minimum or maximum group size required. Please note, the type of project you select, the project duration and number of people you’d like to engage in your volunteer project may impact the amount of budget needed to create a successful event for your employees.
