We provide a variety of services

The resources of nonprofits across the nation are being stretched like never before, with the country seeing both a significant increase in needs and a measurable decrease in the financial resources available to meet those needs. In order to not only maintain current levels of service, but to increase their capacity to meet the growing challenges, nonprofits must access a variety of skills and expertise that may not be available within the organizations themselves. At the same time, the corporate sector is beginning to recognize that it can create a greater impact on critical social issues by offering its own best resource – its professional expertise.

At the intersection of the challenges to be met and the expert human resources to meet those challenges is skills–based volunteering (SBV). This innovative approach takes advantage of individuals′ skills and experience to help service organizations build and sustain their capacity to bring real solutions to our most pressing social problems.

Skills-Based Volunteer Models

• Marathon Model: Conduct your pro bono project within a short timeframe (usually 24 hours) to deliver a mass volume of services
• Open-ended Model: Make your services available to a set number of nonprofits on an ongoing basis
• Coaching and mentoring: Do your employees have culinary, hospitality, retail or tutoring skills? Partner with a nonprofit and lend your functional expertise
• Standardized Team Projects: Employees are placed on a team with set roles, responsibilities and deliverables
