Corporate Volunteering 

Upwardly Global creates tailored volunteer events for companies. Volunteering offers many benefits to your workplace: 

• Corporate volunteers develop greater loyalty to their employer when they are involved in meaningful social activity beyond work. 
• Employees develop appreciation for inclusion and diversity, improving their ability to engage with their team or clients. 
• Volunteer opportunities improve recruitment, particularly among high-skilled, younger workers. 
• Cross-promotion builds brand awareness with a dynamic group of immigrant professionals. 
• Employees expand their social networks to support a wider range of internal referrals. 

Volunteering also benefits immigrant and refugee job seekers: Corporate volunteers share insight into the U.S. workplace and build candidates’ professional networks. 

Volunteer opportunities range from short-term events to longer-term engagements. They can take place on-site at your company or in a virtual, online format. 

Corporate volunteer options include: 

Speed Networking
Connect with Upwardly Global job seekers at an interactive networking session. Company volunteers gain cross-cultural communication skills while supporting immigrant and refugee job seekers in practicing interview skills and networking.

Mock Interviews
Practice cross-cultural communication skills such as coaching and providing feedback. A mock interview is a practice session that increases job seekers’ confidence, skills, and interview techniques.

Mentoring
Volunteers connect with job seekers for longer-term support with networking and polishing professional English-language skills.

Roundtable Discussions
Corporate leaders share perspectives and tips with job seekers, while also learning from the lived experience of immigrants and refugees.
