Workplace Volunteer Council

What is Workplace Volunteer Council?

UWECI and founding partners developed the Workplace Volunteer Council (WVC) to increase and engage employees in volunteerism. Workplace volunteering contributes to employees’ perception of a positive corporate culture, and enables companies to speak to employee’s personal values.

What does WVC do?

By connecting social-minded companies, WVC establishes, grows, and sustains successful workplace volunteer programs to help companies foster a culture of volunteerism. The council hosts quarterly meetings and coordinates employee volunteer projects.

Meeting topics include addressing community volunteer needs, educational programming, and increasing employee engagement. Council members network with peers, learn from other companies, share best practices, create corporate visibility, and forge relationships.
