🤝 One-Time Volunteering Missions

Short, hands-on, accessible initiatives that are ideal for quickly mobilizing volunteers. They usually don’t require any specific skills.

Examples: Meal distribution, clothing sorting, organizing a food drive.

🧠 Skills-Based Volunteering

These initiatives tap into volunteers’ expertise to support a specific need within your organization. They can be short or long-term.

Examples: Logo design, proofreading bylaws, improving management tools, career talks in schools.

👥 Mentorship

Ongoing support where volunteers accompany someone over time, with regular and committed follow-up.

Examples: Mentoring youth, helping children learn to read, supporting individuals in job reintegration.

🎪 Events

A one-off, group-based format, perfect for mobilizing help during an event.

Examples: Community forums, solidarity runs, group workshops, webinars or conferences.

🧩 Micro-Actions

Initiatives with no fixed date or direct interaction with your team. Volunteers complete them independently, at any time.

  • Awareness actions: Podcasts, quizzes, videos, or online events about a cause.

  • Personal challenges: Blood donation, vegetarian meals, low-carbon commutes, etc.

💸 Financial Donations

Three ways to encourage financial support for your organization:

  • Fundraiser: Direct donations via the platform

  • Matched giving: The company matches the volunteer’s donation

  • Time-matching: The company turns time spent volunteering into a financial contribution
