Corporate volunteering

Corporate, or employee volunteering is one way organisations can get involved in Corporate Social Responsibility Programs. These have been growing in popularity, and can help build a more committed, engaged, creative and energetic workplace.

Organisations that engage in corporate volunteering actively encourage their staff to volunteer. Individuals often feel rewarded if they're given a chance to make a positive difference in their communities. Flow-on benefits can include better teamwork, leadership development and increased staff loyalty and morale.

Organisations can choose to offer staff time off each year to volunteer, or arrange a team day for volunteering.

We have many corporate volunteering opportunities:

• Outbound calling
• Pre and post-event support (assembling fundraising event kits, packing merchandise boxes, sorting and stocktaking)
• Event point-of-sale support (working at a rostered event site such as Daffodil Day or Pink Ribbon Day)
• Administrative support (assembling information kits for programs like SunSmart or Quit).
