We talk a lot about coordinating volunteer experiences during times of the year when your team members want to be volunteering. We'll let you in on a little secret: the day when the most employees get engaged in volunteering is Giving Tuesday. If you haven't made plans, don't worry! We're here to help.‍

Ideas, Resources, and more for Giving Season

Planning a day of service or even just a single volunteer experience can be overwhelming. Our founders, Ben & Andy, break down how to make your life easy in this WeHero Learn video. Give it a quick watch!

There are a few WeHero experiences that we recommend for Giving Tuesday and the holidays. Take a look at our dedicated holiday page for volunteer experiences that are guaranteed to be a hit for your team.

A little tip, if you are unable to plan anything around Giving Tuesday, International Volunteer Day is a few days afterward on December 5th!
