Amplify Your Impact with Professional Volunteerism
Companies are increasingly encouraging employees to volunteer their professional services to nonprofit organizations (NPOs) at no cost. These volunteer programs help staff diversify and strengthen their skills, making them more valuable to their employers and more engaged with their company.
Benefits for Companies and NPOs
“A skilled and experienced workforce is any company’s most valuable asset. It doesn’t matter whether an employee has gained their skills on a paid-for or pro bono basis.”
For NPOs, corporate volunteerism provides essential services that are often too expensive. Professionals can streamline bookkeeping, assess electrical needs, plan nutritious menus, or develop fundraising strategies. The opportunities are endless!
What Does This Mean for You?
Watching your favorite NPO grow and make a greater impact thanks to your involvement brings a tremendous sense of achievement. Having a purpose beyond business profit boosts self-confidence, professional self-worth, and happiness, leading to greater productivity and job satisfaction.
Get Started!
Find an Opportunity on forgood (or create an offer) and use your professional skills to help others!
Get involved with your company’s corporate social investment program, and if they don’t have one, encourage them to start (and point them our way)!
