The Volunteer Center can provide your company with assistance in developing and promoting a corporate volunteer program. You’ll have access to, and the option to be included in, programs such as those listed below. If you are interested in any of these programs, contact Heidi Neuhaus at hneuhaus@uwcr.org, or by calling 717.732.0700 X 4055. Corporate Volunteer Council: The majority of non-profit organizations in the Capital Region rely on volunteers to fulfill their missions. As the need for services grows in our area, so does the need for volunteers. Many businesses are addressing this need through the addition of an employee volunteer program. The purpose of our new Corporate Volunteer Council is to give area businesses the opportunity to network with other companies who either have or are starting an employee volunteer program. View more information and a list of meeting dates for the CorporateVolunteer Council. Holiday Connections:Many companies choose to do a holiday project and The Volunteer Center can help. Holiday Connections, an agency holiday project and wish list, is available to help individuals and companies select holiday projects by providing a multitude of options, complete with contact information.Whether your company (or even your department) is interested in adopting a family and purchasing gifts, collecting food or other winter essentials for homeless families, volunteering at a gift-wrapping booth to help an agency raise money, or simply donating money, we can help. Holiday Connections Wish List (PDF format, 703 kb) Board Connections: The Volunteer Center compiles a bank of individuals who are interested in serving on non-profit boards of directors, committees or other volunteer leadership positions. We can help employees interested in leadership volunteer positions secure placement. Referrals are based upon the individual’s skills and area of interests. Potential volunteers need only complete a brief, one-page profile form to be added to the bank of candidates. Last year, 53 candidates were placed in leadership volunteer positions with area non-profits.

Send us information on what your employees are doing in the community and we’ll include it in the newsletter. Corporate Connections: This program is available year-round to assist companies in identifying and undertaking volunteer projects. Whether you’re interested in participating in an established event or creating something different to match your particular needs and skills, the Volunteer Center will assist you every step of the way.
