Corporate Service Trips

Save the Children invites your organization to partner with us on providing corporate service trips to your employees. Trips combine volunteer activities with exposure to cultural and societal issues. Participants travel from around the world to improve lives, understand the challenges children face and the solutions offered by Save the Children. Employees broaden their cross-cultural awareness and return with a stronger understanding of their company's business strategy. Additionally, employees benefit from exposure to consumer needs and behaviors in new or strategic markets.

Project Work

Programs offer a variety of work across a single trip. Participants will:

• Model health and hygiene behaviors including hand washing and teeth brushing
• Tutor children and assist in Literacy Boost programming
• Renovate schools, libraries or playgrounds to create more child friendly spaces
• Plant vegetable gardens to advance in-school nutritional education
• Visit retail outlets to research their company's regional product placement and pricing strategies
• Meet with corporate leaders of local business units and visit corporate plants to gain regional business insight

Current and prospective corporate partners select 10-20 employees to spend a week volunteering on field-based projects. Participants learn about our programs first hand and gaining an in-depth understanding of how company funded support, as well as individual volunteerism, can make a positive difference in the lives of children we serve.
