Volunteers from Target put a fresh coat of paint on a world map at a local school

Interested in starting an employee volunteer program at your company? Looking for ways to improve teambuilding and morale? Need help "pitching" the idea to senior management? Fostering employee volunteerism is a creative and powerful team-building tool that will pay dividends long after the project is complete.

Employee volunteer programs are important for employees to build relationships, exercise leadership, and think outside the office. If your company would like to grow its Employee Volunteer Program, Hands On New Orleans can consult, speak at special events, conduct an employee interest survey, and provide other materials for program development. Learn the best practices accrued by volunteer organizations to recruit and retain volunteers and plan successful service projects.

If your company doesn't have an Employee Volunteer Program established, Hands On New Orleans can work with your company to lay a solid program foundation, including:
-determining a structure that works for your company
-working within a set budget
-identifying your program's focus
-marketing your program both internally and externally
-planning successful service projects
-recruitment, training and recognition of volunteers
