“We went from ‘This is not a doable scenario’ to ‘This is a shining star of our volunteer program.’” This is what Kate Laepple Hertzog, Manager of Community Impact at Cencora (formerly AmerisourceBergen), a Fortune 10 company with 46,000+ employees worldwide, has to say about their partnership with Visit.org. Engaging frontline employees, specifically distribution center teams, has been a persistent challenge for many of our corporate partners. Traditional volunteer models often don't fit the reality of fast-paced, physically demanding, and time-bound work where breaks and access to technology are limited. In fact, we have been experimenting and iterating with many of our corporate partners to find the right way for each of them to engage their vastly different teams and needs. We're thrilled Cencora has collaborated with us to design a solution for their distribution center employees. Its resounding success is a powerful example of what’s possible when we come together as partners to innovate and refine ideas.

We're excited to welcome Melissa Robinson to the speaker lineup for September's Virtual Summit! Melissa will be joining Michal Alter for a conversation about how Amazon has scaled its employee-led volunteer programs. When we talk driving business value through impact initiatives, volunteering is one of those key pillars that can move the needle. We're looking forward to learning from Melissa's experience in a couple of short months.

How does your company define skills-based volunteering (SBV)? We’ve seen this term take on a lot of different meanings in the CSR space, including: 🔘 Pro bono project work Scoped, multi-day or multi-week engagements. Often asynchronous, led by individuals or expert teams to deliver a defined output. 🔘 Live mentoring & sessions Real-time, short-form, 1:1 or group engagements (e.g., mentoring, mock interviews, nonprofit brainstorms). Typically 1–2 hours, with no long-term follow-up. 🔘 A Mix of Both Offering multiple formats depending on employee availability and nonprofit needs. 🔘 Still Defining Currently exploring what SBV looks like in our organization. Vote and let us know in the comments how you’re thinking about skills-based volunteering in 2025. #SkillsBasedVolunteering #CSR #EmployeeEngagement #SocialImpact #VisitDotOrg Taproot Foundation Common Impact Benevity Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship

New speaker added to the lineup for Social Impact World's Virtual Summit coming up in a couple of months.

Still recovering from a week filled with strategy, big ideas, and more than a few happy tears. Last week, our Corporate Impact Managers gathered for three days of planning, reflection, and momentum. We dug into what sets Visit.org apart, and how we continue to raise the bar for what corporate social impact can look like when the programming is built for scale and the impact is built to last. We aligned around: ✔️ Partnering with nonprofits in ways that prioritize their needs, not just optics ✔️ Delivering consistent, high-quality experiences across the globe ✔️ Helping CSR teams activate programs that go beyond participation and drive lasting outcomes We closed the week with a Project in a Box experience, assembling teddy bears for local children in a NYC family shelter, bringing comfort, connection, and a few unexpected tears along the way. A meaningful end to a week grounded in purpose, partnership, and human connection. Alice Ping - Shiseido | Nathaniel Kelliehan - Ralph Lauren | Isabella M.
