Let us do the work for you

Our end-to-end service not only helps businesses find suitable volunteer projects for their employees, but also takes care of all of the logistical requirements involved.

Volunteering WA can set up, administer and facilitate your corporate volunteering program

We provide an excellent brokerage service to businesses to help you find appropriate group or individual volunteer opportunities, conduct all planning and preparation involved, host volunteer teams on site, and report on the results. We facilitate team-based and skills-based volunteering for your employees and our corporate volunteering programs are tailored to suit the needs of the business.

Team-Based Volunteering

Team based projects are one day projects completed within normal business hours (Monday to Friday) by teams ranging from 5 to 50 volunteers. We work with over 80 different non for profit or community organisations and can match your employees interests and your companies’ values to suitable projects.

Volunteer activities could include tree planting, gardening for aged care clients, packing baby hampers for new parents, repairing bikes for youth programs, painting and site maintenance, wildlife rehab, food preparation for families in need, sorting and packing donations.

Skills-Based Volunteering

Skills based volunteering involves discrete one on one projects in which a corporate volunteer utilises their individual or workplace skills to assist a non-for-profit or community organisation.

Project commitments are generally 8-12 hours spread across a few weeks or months and are tailored to suit an employee’s Volunteer Leave Allowance. Projects include skills in areas such as Human Resources, Strategic Planning, Business Development, Project Management, Risk Assessment, Mentoring and Coaching, and many more.
