<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhether it’s a Christmas party, a summer festival, or a kickoff event for the new year: Company parties bring a team together. A joint effort for a charitable cause in your local community is a great way to celebrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Strengthening Cohesion:<\/strong> Working together to help others strengthens team cohesion and satisfaction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Contributing Skills:<\/strong> Employees contribute personally and further develop their skills in the process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Demonstrating responsibility:<\/strong> Your company visibly takes on social responsibility, both internally and externally.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Minimal effort:<\/strong> You can delegate the planning, coordination, and communication with the organization.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
When companies enable their employees to engage in this kind of volunteer work, it\u2019s called corporate volunteering<\/a>. A company event\u2014such as a Christmas party\u2014is an easy way to give it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhich project is right for you depends on your location, team size, and interests. We\u2019ll work with you to select the project. Here\u2019s an example of what a collaborative project might look like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Fulfilling wish lists or wrapping gifts for children<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Packing Christmas or care packages for people in need<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Prepare sandwiches for homeless people<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Paint rooms at nonprofit organisations, such as a daycare center<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Build raised garden beds, for example at a senior living facility<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Beautify your neighborhood or organise a cleanup in your neighborhood<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Support local charity organisations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The topics covered are diverse: ranging from environmental protection, nature conservation, and animal welfare to assistance for the homeless and poverty alleviation, food rescue, and support for children and youth, as well as initiatives involving refugees, seniors, and people with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depending on the project, a social team event can last anywhere from a few hours to half a day. We\u2019ll coordinate the exact schedule with you in advance, and then we\u2019ll head off together to the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can find more information about projects, group sizes, and costs on our Social Team Events<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nDepending on the size of your team and how much time you have, a different format might be best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Social Team Events: Get Out of the Office, Get Into the Project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Get out together, do good together: At the Social Team Event, you\u2019ll volunteer as a team with a nonprofit organization in your area\u2014for example, by painting rooms, participating in a cleanup, or beautifying your neighborhood. We\u2019ll choose the project together with you. To do this, we\u2019ll draw on our network of around 2,500 partner organizations and also look for opportunities in your area. This is a classic choice for company events like the Christmas party: a few hours of volunteer work, followed by a celebration together. Learn more about Social Team Events<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
In-House Volunteering: The Project Comes to You<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Are you short on time, or do you usually celebrate at the office anyway? With in-house volunteering, we bring everything you need for your volunteer effort. You can choose from activities such as wrapping gifts for underprivileged children, putting together care packages for people in need, making sandwiches for homeless people, or organising a neighborhood cleanup. We currently offer this program in Berlin. Learn more about in-house volunteering<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Social Days: When the Entire Workforce Gets Involved<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
One day, many projects: On Social Day, your company works together\u2014both at your various locations and digitally\u2014to support nonprofit organizations. Formats, locations, and both in-person and digital projects can be combined in any way you like\u2014for example, supporting a summer festival at a refugee shelter or advising nonprofit organizations on their websites. Depending on your preferences, a Social Day can last anywhere from a few hours to a full day. We identify suitable projects, handle the organisation, and support you with internal communication.
