Celebrate the Fun Side of Volunteering with #FestiVOL15

Employee volunteer programs have a myriad of benefits. One of the top, and often overlooked, benefits? They're fun.

This National Volunteer Week (April 12-18, 2015), VolunteerMatch is celebrating the fun side of volunteering with our second annual FestiVOL. Time to put on those party hats, dig out those noisemakers, and shout with us, "Volunteering is AWESOME!"

Of course, it's not all fun and games. One of our #FestiVOL15 goals is to help you, your company, and your employees strengthen and get creative with your employee volunteer program. We want you to get the most out of National Volunteer Week.

To help reach this goal, each day of the week we'll post three nuggets of information: One piece of inspiration, one piece of knowledge, and one action. Check out our #FestiVOL15 webpage to follow along as they're posted. You and your employees can also follow the hashtag #FestiVOL15 on Twitter to see everything as it's released, and to join in the fun yourself!

Whether you run a great employee volunteer program, volunteer through your company, or volunteer on your own time, here's to you!
