Corporate Volunteer Council Lunch & Learn Recap Blog

Research shows that 71% of private-sector companies are using volunteerism as a way to unite their workforce and 79% of employees who volunteer are more likely to be satisfied with their job. However, the practical applications of how to do this can be hard to implement within corporations. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) leaders have a lot on their plates trying to steward employee engagement across thousands of employees both nationally and globally. 

SHARE Charlotte was thrilled to partner with Duke Energy for the second year on their “Power of Giving” Volunteer Fair. This on-campus event creates opportunities for employees to find volunteer opportunities, board positions or other engagement opportunities with the nonprofits that Duke currently supports, as well as meet new organizations. 

Did you know that there are over 4,000 companies in Charlotte but only .05% have a resource dedicated to community engagement? With over 79% of employees who want to volunteer or create community impact, it can be challenging to know where to start.

SHARE Charlotte’s mission is to build a better Charlotte by EMPOWERING NONPROFITS AND HELPING PEOPLE INVEST IN THEIR COMMUNITIES in ways that matter most to them.
