It concerns structural and impactful connections between businesses and social institutions where employees – often English-speaking – have the opportunity to engage in meaningful volunteer work. As an organization, you can make a call on a special subpage of our website. This gives you, as a social organization, a broad platform to communicate your needs for people, knowledge, and resources to companies in the city. How can your organization make optimal use of this?
