Guide to hosting your Month of Service

A month of service is a unique opportunity for businesses to bring their workforce together to create meaningful impact across company mission areas through employee volunteering. 
A long-standing CSR initiative among the biggest businesses, service month volunteering is gaining popularity world over as a way to re-connect and engage global, remote teams with purpose. 


The short answer: anytime that works for your organisation.

While businesses in the US generally organize their month of service in April to coincide with National Volunteer Month, geographically-dispersed teams and a deepening global outlook has meant a strategic shift to engage and incorporate global teams with flexible timelines.

A growing number of our clients are exploring organizing a month, a week, or even a day service around the giving season to maximize social impact and bring the joy of volunteering to employees before the holiday season.

Through our experience powering month of service engagements for Service Now, EY, and Nike, we have learned that service month engagements give purpose to employees, uplift local communities, and channel purposeful impact regardless of when they’re organized in the year.
