Workplace Volunteer Council United Way of Tampa Bay believes volunteers play a critical role in creating change that can help improve lives and build a strong, caring community. And we recognize that volunteerism is one of the foundations of corporate social responsibility and good corporate citizenship. That’s why United Way proudly serves as convener of the Workplace Volunteer Council (WVC). The WVC is an alliance composed of representatives from Tampa Bay area companies, professional services firms, and government entities that actively promote employee volunteerism. The Council offers its members a unique forum to exchange best practices and innovative ideas for increasing community volunteerism through workplace involvement. By joining the WVC, your organization will align itself with leading Tampa Bay area employers and United Way, as we work together to deliver on our shared commitment to advance the common good by mobilizing volunteers across Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties. Meetings The WVC meets quarterly to share best practices on encouraging employee volunteer participation, and ideas on effectively promoting volunteerism in the workplace. United Way of Tampa Bay’s expert staff provides additional resources, technical assistance, and up-to-date information on community needs and emerging opportunities to help through United Way’s premier volunteering platform: HandsOn Tampa Bay (HOT). The Council also provides a means for member organizations to work collectively on community priorities through joint projects and activities. |
