During the past 40 years, Global Volunteers has helped employers:

✓ fulfill corporate social responsibility goals

✓ conduct effective team-building practices

✓ improve employee morale and retention

Employee Volunteer Time Off (VTO) is cited as a valued benefit stimulating meaningful community engagement and employee job satisfaction.

Employee Resource Groups are where a company’s stated values get personal. They’re also where employees build the relationships that carry them through the rest of their working lives.

Global Volunteers partners with ERGs, BRGs, and affinity groups to design immersive service-learning experiences that reflect your group’s mission and your members’ interests. Whether your group centers on cultural heritage, women’s leadership, veterans, young professionals, faith, sustainability, health equity, or social impact, our programs bring members and, if they wish, their families into the daily life of a community that has asked for their help.

Employee groups provide meaningful service to local people while they learn personally about the limitations, opportunities, and realities of rural villages, emergent democracies, and struggling U.S. communities.

At the invitation of local leaders, employees apply their professional skills, knowledge, and experience on important community development projects while engaging in team-building and sharing their passion for service.

Together, we’ve laid the foundation for long-lasting positive change aided by companies’ annual service impacts.
