Corporate volunteering with heart & mind since 2015
With our extensive expertise, we support companies in planning and effectively implementing corporate volunteering measures. The focus of our work is always on the greatest possible added value for all those involved – the organisation to be supported, the company and its employees.
Get in touch and we will put together an offer tailored to your needs.

Corporate volunteering that suits you
For your effective and sustainable corporate commitment, we will find formats together with you that reflect your company values as well as the interests of your employees. You can choose between social team events, action days for the entire workforce or a software-supported corporate volunteering programme.
Consultancy with purpose & lasting effect
We advise you from the initial idea to the final implementation and work closely with you to develop a sustainable strategy for your corporate volunteering – including measures to activate employees and stakeholders. To do this, we draw on our many years of experience with a large number of clients, whom we have supported in the planning, implementation and evaluation of their corporate volunteering measures.
Partner organisations throughout Germany
Our network consists of 1938 non-profit organisations throughout Germany. This means that we currently offer you access to numerous volunteering opportunities that cover a wide range of topics, target groups and sustainability goals. In addition, we can also acquire specific projects at your company location on request.

Social Days
Create your social team event with us for a motivated team & a better world
The opportunities for Social Days are various: job application training for refugees, excursions with senior citizens, preparing care packages or meals for the homeless, building raised beds in a youth club or joint clean-ups in a park - in our partner network of more than 1,700 non-profit organisations, there is something for everyone and always something to do.
We work together to find a suitable charitable activity at your desired location that suits you and your employees. We always make sure that the Social Day activities are geared to the needs of the organisation so that the commitment results in a real win-win situation.
Once you have decided on a Social Day activity, we will make the arrangements with the organisations, procure the necessary materials and ensure that everything runs smoothly on the day of the event.
We recommend group sizes of 10-20 people in order to provide effective support in an organisation or at a location. In most cases, there are not enough tasks and rooms available for more people.
For larger groups or teams that may also be spread across different locations in Germany, we offer Social Days in which several projects are carried out in parallel. These can even take place partially or completely digitally. An event like this allows over 1,000 employees to take part. In doing so, we ensure that everyone has a meaningful role and a meaningful task to make a positive impact while ensuring efficient collaboration.
In order to achieve a sustainable and positive impact for the non-profit organisations, you should plan a certain budget. Depending on the type of commitment, there may be costs for materials (e.g. for wood, paint or plants) that cannot be covered by the locations. You should also factor in catering for the volunteers involved.
We at vostel.de take care of the organisation and ensure that everything runs smoothly. In addition to the material and catering costs incurred, we therefore charge a service fee. This fee depends on the number of participants and the overall organisational effort.
By taking these costs into account, we ensure that the commitment is attractive and effective for both the participating volunteers and the charitable organisations supported. Together, we create a lasting impact and leave a tangible and visible positive influence.
Volunteer Management Tool
With our Volunteer Management Tool, you can easily organise, manage and track your corporate volunteering activities and create meaningful reports.
With our Volunteer Management Tool, you receive a customised platform filled with selected non-profit projects that is specifically adapted to your corporate design and preferences. You can make this platform available to your employees to give them easy access to social commitment as part of their working hours.
You decide which volunteering opportunities are offered on the platform in terms of topics, interests and skills, group sizes, duration and locations. We customise the platform according to your wishes and thus offer a tailored and diverse selection for your employees.
We provide your employees with a wide range of volunteering opportunities via our volunteer management tool. They can choose between social team events or volunteering as an individual, e.g. in a pro bono project. Your employees can easily register on the volunteering platform, find a suitable project and register directly for an assignment or get in touch with a social organisation. In their dashboard, they can keep an eye on their commitment and manage it.
The Volunteer Management Tool allows you to track the progress of the volunteering activities at a glance via a smart dashboard. You can record information on the number of participants, hours worked, favourite areas of volunteering, employee feedback and the impact of your corporate volunteering measures. Our tool also generates detailed reports to analyse the success of your volunteering activities and communicate them both inside and outside your company.
If desired you can activate our in-kind donation tool within the Volunteer Management Tool and enable your employees to provide in-kind donations matching the requests from our non-profit network.
The security of our IT infrastructure and user data is a top priority for us and is subject to the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
We would be happy to give you a personalised tour of our Volunteer Management Tool.

It enables our employees to volunteer in a wide range of environmental, social and cultural projects. #SustainabilityAsNewNormal. When working with vostel.de, it is not only the platform's high level of functionality and user-friendliness that stands out, but also the impressive professionalism and flexibility of the entire team. We look forward to continuing to bring about positive change together with vostel.de in the future.

Since the founding of vostel.de in 2015, we have been proud to be a part of this wonderful digital platform. Especially in 2020, vostel.de has greatly supported us in creating exciting online volunteering formats, which allowed Zalandos to continue to get involved in a wide variety of topics, even in times of Corona. It is a matter of the heart for us Zalandos to share our time and know-how with our community. Furthermore, vostel.de is a strong partner that supports us with its detailed reports to continuously improve our engagement and especially to make our successes in this area visible.

It was a great volunteering day for all of us and the team was really grateful for the opportunity to support. Also the organisation from the vostel.de side could not have been better! (with all tools in place/snacks/drinks/alternatives even with rain for the plants we planted)! It was all great and I would like to thank you all for everything from the whole team :)

Corporate volunteering has been part of our corporate citizenship activities for many years. We have been organising volunteer days and volunteer team events since 2012 and took our commitment to a new level in 2021 by digitalising our offerings. The software solution and service from vostel.de provide excellent services in this regard. With the help of Audi's own corporate plattform, we were able to implement many corporate volunteering measures quickly, reliably and flexibly at all times. We are grateful for the excellent cooperation and look forward to many more projects!

On a Social Day, your employees work together on a fixed date for a good cause. This strengthens team spirit and contributes to a better world. The work of the participants either benefits a charitable organisation, e.g. by renovating a common room in a children's home. Or they create added value for society, for example by removing rubbish from a riverbank as part of a clean-up.
