VOLUNTEER ENGAGEMENT GET YOUR COMPANY INVOLVED
HOW TO GET STARTED We know the benefits to corporate volunteering—retention of top talent, improved skills, increased employee satisfaction and a positive public image to name a few—but sometimes, it can be challenging for businesses to connect with a nonprofit or to coordinate a project on their own.
That’s where Hands On Asheville-Buncombe can help. PROCESS FOR ONSITE AND OFFSITE PROJECTS:
STEP 1: Visit www.handsonasheville.org/corporate-engagement and review the volunteer engagement menu. STEP 2: Complete the online form and a Hands On staff member will contact you to determine your employee engagement goals and interest. Every request is handled professionally and with excellent customer service. STEP 3: Select your project from the options Hands On proposed. Once your selection is confirmed, Hands On staff will be in frequent communication regarding all project details.
GUIDELINES FOR ONSITE AND OFFSITE PROJECTS:
Submit the online form a minimum of 6 weeks before your anticipated project date. Please allow 8+ weeks of planning for multiple projects, a series of dates or large volunteer groups (more than 25 volunteers). Your company will need to assign a team leader to communicate the project details to your employees. He/she will be responsible for communicating to co-workers about assignments, recommended clothing, project location, parking, etc. Hands On will provide all information, including logistics, to the company team leader. A budget is required for most service projects. If this is the case, Hands On will develop an agreement that outlines responsibilities of both Hands On and your company. Payment will be due before the project(s) occurs as Hands On handles all aspects of supply procurement and project management.
