Inspiring, Engaging, and Empowering Employees through Corporate Volunteer Programs
According to Benevity, a leader in the social impact space, there has been a massive surge in corporate volunteering over the last three years. Companies are realizing that aligning with causes they care about is important to their employees, customers, and beneficiaries. In post-pandemic times, employees have been eager to get back out to serve their communities. Never before have so many companies invested this much into their corporate volunteer and social impact programs — and gained so much in return.
Today’s employees and younger generations are looking for connection, learning, growth, and meaning through their work. With this in mind, companies are creating effective volunteer engagement strategies as part of their CSR programs. These strategies foster a sense of passion, commitment, and connectedness while boosting not just an employee’s productivity but their overall well-being. This mindset paves the way for accepting volunteerism as a force for positive change. In the spirit of that mentality, 365 Connect was born.
In 2020, Teresa Miller and Carlen Haag joined forces to create 365 Connect, a 501c3 in San Diego, with hopes of addressing the critical needs of the community and inspiring a strong sense of community through shared volunteer experiences and cause-related events.
“Corporate volunteerism is one of the pillars of—and essential to—a company’s social responsibility program”, says the Co-Founders. We work with over 100 organizations that are supporting a variety of causes from homelessness, veterans, active military, foster youth, park revitalizations, environmental concerns and so much more. 365 Connect empowers organizations to connect with volunteers and provides the tools organizations need to inspire supporters to take that first action and to keep them engaged long-term. After working with countless causes, 365 Connect knows what it takes to strengthen those powerful relationships and ignite a passion among volunteers to do more good.
