Starting an employee volunteer program
The United Way of Central New York Volunteer Center can help your company get its employee volunteer program off the ground, whether you need help getting management support, providing employees with volunteer opportunities, recording hours, or recognizing your volunteers. We can provide you with handy resources through our affiliation with the Points of Light Institute and help you figure out a program that works best for your organization.
Want to coordinate a large-scale volunteer day with your organization’s employees? We’ll walk you through the process beginning to end, from choosing a project and coordinating volunteers to evaluating the end result. Please allow 60-90 days of advance planning.
