Corporate Volunteering

 
Corporate Connect Volunteering

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

We invested over 3400 volunteer hours in 2009
 
 
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.

Here are some examples:
 
Backyard Blitz          
Building an outdoor lunch area for people with disabilities at the Westcare Nedlands site
