Volunteering is a terrific way to help your team engage with important community causes on a personal level. It’s also a great way to create meaningful connections between team members. Volunteering gets us outside of ourselves and into a larger sense of “why.” It puts our own lives into perspective and provides a richer appreciation for the struggles that many of us face.

For You

Reflect on what matters most to you. Helping senior citizens? Working with kids? Protecting wildlife? Whatever pulls on your heart strings, see if you can set aside one hour a month to giving back to your community.

For Your Team

Pick a date for your Volunteer Day, and then ask your team members to weigh in on causes they care about. Engage in a team discussion to explore and vote on community organizations. Take the tally and then head out with your team.
