Bringing your team together for good
Many employers now offer volunteering at work, paid volunteering days and employer supported volunteering, yet still 140 million hours went unused last year alone.
GoVo helps you turn that time into something meaningful by making it easy to find flexible volunteering opportunities that fit around your job. Whether you want to volunteer remotely, support your community during a lunch break or join a one off activity with colleagues, GoVo brings together opportunities that work with any routine.
Why volunteer through your workplace
Volunteering through work gives you an easy way to make an impact without changing your routine. It can boost wellbeing, build confidence and help you develop professional skills that support your career.
Many employers offer corporate volunteering or paid volunteer days, yet a large number go unused because people do not know where to start. GoVo removes these barriers by offering workplace volunteering roles that match the time you have available, including remote volunteering, one hour sessions and short activities that fit into your day.
Make the most of your volunteering days
A significant number of volunteering days offered by employers go unused each year. GoVo helps you change that by showing you opportunities that fit around meetings, deadlines and hybrid work patterns. You can choose from micro volunteering, remote opportunities or one off volunteering events. Use GoVo’s filters to find roles that match your availability so you can give your time in a way that works for you.
What you will get out of it
Volunteering through work supports both personal and professional growth. You can gain transferable skills, build confidence, and meet new people. Many find that employer supported volunteering helps them switch off, feel more connected and improve their wellbeing. If your employer already offers paid volunteering days, GoVo helps you make the most of them by giving you simple and flexible ways to get involved.
