Examples:

By participating in a corporate day of service, companies have the opportunity to show their values and cultivate relationships with the local community.

Through my work with nonprofits, I’ve coordinated corporate volunteer events for companies including Amazon, United Talent Agency, Karen Kane and Audacy. I strive to make events a chance for staff to engage with their local community and each other while seeing how their work creates a big impact. Examples include, prepping flowerbeds and harvesting produce at a nonprofit farm, cooking and serving food to the unhoused, planting trees in urban areas, beach cleanups, or collecting and distributing care packages for under-resourced communities.

Engaging in a dedicated day of service displays a genuine commitment to social responsibility, becoming a powerful tool in brand building and public relations. Consumers are increasingly inclined to support and endorse companies aligned with their values.

The best way to get to know your neighbors and help your local community is by volunteering.

Through my own personal volunteer work and client work, I understand that doing a good deed has a major impact in more ways than you may realize. It’s proven to boost your mood and activities the reward center in your brain and releases serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins. And that positive impact is a ripple effect.

These events are a chance to create meaningful conversation and inspire action.

Concerts, performances, and food festivals, are a few examples of how we can empower attendees to take action and collaborate for a better world.

It could be collaborating with local nonprofits and offering space for them to share their message, hosting an interactive exhibit where attendees can make a pledge or share their values, stating brand values front and center through creative/signage, donating a percentage of merch sales to a nonprofit, or providing an outlet for underrepresented creators to showcase their art.
