Corporate Connect Volunteering
We invested over 5200 volunteer hours in 2007
Our Corporate Connect volunteering program provides the opportunity for your staff to get their hands dirty and complete much needed projects in the community.
"This was the most rewarding experience I have had working for Fujitsu. It is a brilliant initiative & I hope to have the opportunity to participate again… how magnificent it is to get away from the confines of a desk!” Fujitsu staff member
For each program we will:
- identify and scope the work to be done
- provide briefing information to volunteers
- where appropriate, ensure volunteers interact with the community organisation on site
- purchase materials and provide tools
- provide a site manager on the day
- work with you to identify and address OH&S issues
- provide an evaluation and photo album after the day
- invite your company to provide a donation to cover the experience
Our experiences range from a couple of hours for small groups of 4, to full day experiences for groups of 20.
