What is skills-based volunteering?
Skills-based volunteering gives nonprofits access to professional expertise in areas like marketing, HR, data management, and strategic planning—skills they may not have on staff. Volunteers aren’t just extra hands; they bring high-impact support that helps nonprofits run smoother, fill important gaps, and expand their reach in the community. By helping strengthen their operations, skills-based volunteers empower nonprofits to grow sustainably and make an even bigger difference in the long run.
The benefits are just as exciting for companies and volunteers. Companies can use skills-based volunteering to develop their employees’ leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills in a real-world setting. It also helps boost team morale and retention while bringing different departments together to work on meaningful projects. For volunteers, it’s a chance to sharpen their skills, find personal fulfillment, and give back to causes they care about. The result? Happier employees, stronger teams, and a deeper connection to the community.
