Tap into corporate volunteers

Volunteering WA’s Corporate Volunteering Program helps community organisations link with businesses wishing to contribute to the community through team-based volunteering and skills-based volunteering. Volunteering WA staff conduct all the pre- and post-volunteering planning and logistics, and attend on the day to support your organisation and help things run smoothly.

Team-Based Volunteering

Team based projects are one day projects completed within normal business hours (Monday to Friday) by teams ranging from 5 to 50 volunteers. Volunteer activities could include tree planting, gardening for aged care clients, packing baby hampers for new parents, repairing bikes for youth programs, painting and site maintenance, wildlife rehab, food preparation for families in need, sorting and packing donations.

Skills-Based Volunteering

Skills based volunteering involves discrete one on one projects in which a corporate volunteer utilises their individual or workplace skills to assist a non-for-profit or community organisation. Project commitments are generally 8-12 hours spread across a few weeks or months and are tailored to suit an employee’s Volunteer Leave Allowance. Projects include skills in areas such as Human Resources, Strategic Planning, Business Development, Project Management, Risk Assessment, Mentoring and Coaching, and many more.

How can you benefit from corporate volunteers?

Our Community Volunteering program gives community organisations the chance to welcome motivated corporate teams into your work. It’s an opportunity to tackle projects that need extra hands, access specialist skills, and meet new supporters.
  • Access extra hands and specialist skills
    Corporate volunteers can tackle labour-intensive tasks and offer professional expertise your organisation may not have in-house.
  • We’ll handle the logistics
    Volunteering WA manages all logistics, including planning, coordination and support, making participation smooth and low-effort for your organisation.
  • Turn volunteers into supporters for your cause
    Build awareness and connections as corporate volunteers learn about your mission and may become ongoing supporters, advocates or future volunteers.
