International Volunteer Program

Employee volunteering can do wonders for your business. It can bring people together and teach them new skills, while reminding them that they can make a difference. It is also a real way to prove your commitment to your staff and to your corporate social responsibility obligations, as well as an aid to retention and recruitment for your employees.

United Planet offers a wide range of volunteer programs, including:

  • Work with local schools and orphanages
  • Teach English and vocational skills
  • Build basic housing (available for groups)
  • Assist with business development and social responsibility
  • Provide health education and educational consulting
  • Environmental and conservation projects
  • Support women’s empowerment
  • And more!

Corporations are increasingly including international employee volunteer programsas a part of their Corporate Social Responsibility efforts, to engage with their cause marketing initiatives and/or to use them as rewards or incentives for their employees.
