Send teams that will spend time to volunteer
Volunteering at charity organizations or community centers can be part of a company’s community efforts. Though employees can be given paid time off, it would be better to send teams so that they’d fully be immersed in the experience together. Not only will it raise awareness of what is happening in the community, but it will also strengthen camaraderie between team members.
Partner with nonprofit organizations or government initiatives
The best way to make an impact in a community would be to partner with other sectors. When it comes to community service, getting allies is always a good idea. Corporate firms partnering with nonprofit and government firms will allow them to reach more communities. This will also allow them to come up with specific efforts that will target the needs of the people.
Raise funds through sporting events
Sporting events are a great way to gather people. Aside from those involved with the company, partners and acquaintances can contribute their resources while having a fun time doing physical activities. Mini marathons and basketball matches are some popular activities people can participate in.
