What we do for ourselves die with us,
what we do for others remains and is immortal.
Corporate Volunteering Abroad
An Alternative For Your Business Trips.
Nowadays companies are more and more involved in actions related to corporate social responsibility. Your business can come into action and share you professional knowledge for the benefits of communities in another parts of the world. Like all business leaders, we are also committed to the development of our projects and your professional knowledge can help our projects.
.With years of experience in development cooperation, we believe that we are an interesting partner for your business in developing a corporate volunteering project abroad. A corporate volunteering project project is a fully-fledged alternative to the traditional business trips, team buildings, incentives and can be combined with excursions on the spot.
We believe that a volunteer project is an added value to several objectives of your business.
Why Organize Corporate Volunteering Abroad Trips?
- It has been proven that nowadays potential employees not only look at what is in front of them and also how organized the company is and this in the context of corporate social responsibility. For companies, it will result in motivated employees and a good reputation.
- Employees are given the opportunity to gain new knowledge and skills, to grow in the field of intercultural cooperation, to be creative with the resources you have and to learn to communicate in a different way.
- Employees who participate in a group trip will get to know each other better and in a new way, which will improve mutual understanding and cooperation both during and after the trip. The work they do is therefore not only valuable for the project, but also good for team building.
- Local communities will benefit from the new skills they learn through knowledge sharing and intercultural cooperation and from the direct outcome of the work of the volunteers, depending on the type of project.
Corporate Volunteering Trips
Volunteering Abroad Is A Life Changing Experience
Small Scale
The local population gets the most benefit from small-scale tourism.
Immersion
Genuine discovery & meetings with the local community.
Personal involvement
You only really get to know the local community by working together with them.
Why We Organize Corporate Volunteering
- Bringing your organization in contact with our organizations increases the impact in development projects.
- We bring professionals in contact with different projects to increase impact by working together on global development, social and environmental issues around the world.
- There is a great deal of interest in development cooperation, but many people are skeptical of traditional development cooperation. Today, your employees & customers also want to be able to participate in the field themselves and become acquainted with the local problems.
- By participating in our projects, your participants come into contact with a more complex society that is completely different from their personal environment and the participants get a different view of development cooperation.
- With our corporate volunteering projects, we provide an alternative to groups trips organized by commercial travel organizations. By working together, we can outweigh such initiatives and introduce groups to fair projects rather than profit-based initiatives.
- Create experiences for your employees/costomers which they will remember and will give them a “wow feeling” on a regular basis.
- Create a bigger network, put our alliance in a wider light and to welcome more individual (long-term) volunteers in order to create a bigger impact on the communities we support.
Designed For Your Business
The structure of Corporate Volunteering can be determined together with your company. For groups a customized group tour can be arranged. The objectives of the group trip are determined and together a program is drawn up. Everything in the destination will be well organized from start to finish. The program also includes free time activities, so that the group also gets some of the local culture and surroundings.
A group tour can take place more often if desired, the same or a new group could join the same community again a year later. Who knows your company will become a major support for a community, would that not be great? For example, employees can participate in the same projects at different times of the year, creating long-term cooperation with a clear impact.
We are flexible on details like budget, duration, itinerary, start and end dates, trip theme, group composition, etc.
We have two programs which easily can be customized to your liking. This allows you to rebuild more leisure time or activities provided by us.
We do not exclude anyone, and want to give each type of corporation a chance to get to know another culture. At the participants we only ask a good basic condition and mental health.
You come to places where you live in primitive conditions and the different climate. Your project work is tailored to your physical possibilities. It’s not a very tough trip but you have to take into account that it’s not a typical tourist trip.
Team Building
The emphasis here is on strengthening team spirit and what can be better than working together on something meaningfull. Employees of a company or organization will work together on something that the company sponsors.
Incentives
Organizations use incentives for sales employees, intermediaries or customers. The reward and the associated recognition encourage desired behavior. With Volunteer Abroad Alliance we want to give companies the opportunity to offer an alternative and to offer volunteer work to their participants. It is possible for participants to join a project in group or individual.
