On the one hand, CV shows entrepreneurial responsibility and helps to develop the siting region. On the other hand, CV has the ability to foster teambuilding, professional, methodical and managerial expertise as well as social skills.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Depending on whether the focus lays on HR or CSR measures, it can be chosen between several types of Corporate Volunteering.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ed775d;\">4 types of Corporate Volunteering<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ed775d;\">1.<\/span> The most common way companies choose to push the social involvement of their employees is to offer so-called <strong>Social Days<\/strong>. During one day, a big group of employees leaves their work desks in order to help a social institution. Usually, the tasks are rather hands-on (like renovating rooms, doing some garden work etc.), but time and money intensive so that the non-profit organisation cannot tackle the challenge alone. Local \u201e<span style=\"color: #ed775d;\">Freiwilligenagenturen<\/span>\u201c as well as organisations like <span style=\"color: #ed775d;\"><a style=\"color: #ed775d;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.servethecity.berlin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Serve the City<\/a><\/span> or <span style=\"color: #ed775d;\"><a style=\"color: #ed775d;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gute-tat.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stiftung Gute-Tat<\/a><\/span>&nbsp;and also <span style=\"color: #ed7700;\"><a style=\"color: #ed7700;\" href=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/en\/corporate_volunteering\">vostel.de<\/a><\/span> have good relations to local non-profit organisations to plan volunteering efforts, coordinate logistics, provide supplies and more. Purchasing these services can make a community volunteer project much simpler to carry off.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ed775d;\">2.<\/span> A new way to get involved in a group of colleagues is to participate in the <strong>Urban ActionDays<\/strong> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vostel.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vostel.de<\/a>. A group of up to 50 coworkers&nbsp;dedicate their day to beautify some run-down public space in their city. It\u2019s all about creativity and team work with a visible effect<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ed775d;\">3. <\/span>Another way to support non-profit organisations as a corporate is <strong>pro-bono engagement<\/strong>: Employees offer specific skills (i.e. marketing, communication, finance) in order to help social institutions to professionalise themselves. <span style=\"color: #ed775d;\">Proboneo<\/span> is a professional partner to match corporates and their employees\u2019 skills with non-profits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ed775d;\">4.<\/span> There are many companies and initiatives like <span style=\"color: #ed775d;\"><a style=\"color: #ed775d;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gute-tat.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stiftung Gute-Tat<\/a><\/span>, <span style=\"color: #ed775d;\"><a style=\"color: #ed775d;\" href=\"https:\/\/gsbtb.org\/de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Give Something Back to Berlin<\/a><\/span> and <span style=\"color: #ed775d;\"><a style=\"color: #ed775d;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.servethecity.berlin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Serve the City<\/a><\/span> that offer a selection of volunteering activities where private persons as well as corporate volunteers can get involved. The platform <span style=\"color: #ed775d;\"><a style=\"color: #ed775d;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vostel.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vostel.de<\/a><\/span> also offers <span style=\"color: #ed7700;\"><a style=\"color: #ed7700;\" href=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/en\/corporate_volunteering\">volunteering projects especially for employees.<\/a><\/span> Companies can pick from various short-term projects, ranging from handing out food to the homeless in a local \u201eSuppenk\u00fcche\u201c, sorting material donations at a \u201eKleiderkammer\u201c to spending time with kids at the emergency shelter for refugees. The big variety of projects allows companies to adjust the CV programme to internal planning but also to the individual schedule of each employee.
