Ideas for corporate volunteer teams:
• What about producing your own interview series live
from volunteer events?
• What about broadcasting volunteer rallies so far-
flung and virtual employees can participate and feel
involved?
• What about live streaming unique volunteer perks so
even more volunteers feel engaged? (U.S. Bank
folks: What about a tour of the new US Bank
Stadium?)

Ideas for corporate volunteer teams:

volunteer events as a way to recruit new volunteers?
• Could you use virtual reality and wearable tools to
tell your volunteerism story in a different way—to a
younger audience?

Ideas for corporate volunteer teams:
• Identify your star volunteers—and help them tell
their volunteerism stories via LinkedIn.
• Identify one key executive with a passion for
volunteering—help him/her tell their volunteerism
story via LinkedIn.
• Work with your employee communications team to
merchandise these posts internally—encourage
employees to read/comment/share.
