Organize a Group of Co-Workers to Volunteer

Many employers will give you an afternoon to take a group to build your team while helping others. You can arrange to assemble resources at your workplace, or there are programs changing lives in 12 major urban and rural communities across the United States.

At your office: rally co-workers to assemble kits with school supplies or health products to help volunteer AIDS caregivers. We can make meaningful and fun team-building activies easy anywhere.



Your group can sort and prepare essential school, home and personal supplies donated new by companies to be distributed to help children and families locally or internationally. Microsoft even matches its staff’s volunteer time with $17 cash donation per hour!
