A planning guide by Get Out! Events.
Corporate volunteering gives employees paid time to contribute to a community cause, usually as a team. It overlaps with CSR team building but the emphasis is different: the starting point is what a community partner needs, and the team experience follows from doing that work well.
This guide is for HR, sustainability and admin teams setting up a volunteering day or a recurring programme. It covers how to choose a cause, how to prepare employees, and how to keep the programme useful for the beneficiary rather than convenient for the company.
Food support: sorting and packing donations at a food bank or food rescue organisation.
Eldercare: visits to senior activity centres with crafts, games or simple companionship.
Special needs befriending: structured sessions alongside participants at day activity centres.
Environment: coastal cleanups, tree planting and community gardening.
Skills-based volunteering: workshops or tutoring where your team has a relevant skill to share.
Choosing a Cause helps you shortlist partners and formats. Preparing Volunteers covers briefings, roles and conduct. After the Day explains how to record hours and impact and keep the relationship going.
If you would prefer a company to coordinate partners, logistics and facilitation, Get Out! Events runs volunteering-style programmes as part of its CSR team building in Singapore service.
