Team Volunteer Projects and Counting

{There was a strong sense of accomplishment and feeling like a community after spending the afternoon together supporting children's literacy. The experience and information gained encouraged me to prioritize reading more often in my daily life.

BVU has helped Fairhill Partners so much with volunteer connections. Being a "lean" nonprofit on almost 10 acres I can't even tell you how appreciative we are. My goal next year is to try to do one service day a month! The volunteers from McKinsey were so touched that they plan to come back early next year and continue what they started. Thank you!

{This was a very well communicated and organized event! I didn't use my VTO last year because I couldn't find anywhere to use it. I hope Progressive continues using the BVU site to provide awareness for local volunteer opportunities!

{BVU makes it easy for small nonprofits, like RePlay for Kids, to reach volunteers. Their services of coordinating team events and connecting us to local business is invaluable and allows our small staff to focus on our mission of increasing the availability of adapted toys to kids in need.

{Business Volunteers Unlimited has been an incredible resource for our nonprofit organization. Through their team’s coordination, Lake Erie Nature & Science Center has welcomed several corporate volunteer groups to maintain outdoor areas and assist with special projects this summer. Thank you to BVU for connecting us with passionate individuals and helping the Center share our mission.

{I loved how organized this event was. The instructions were clear. The DJ-style music, fun vibe, and exciting announcements made for a great time. I made new friends. What more could a volunteer want?

{Community outreach has become a large focal point for our team here at OverDrive. Partnering with BVU was one of the best decisions we made this year for OverDrive, our team and the community. It has ignited our desire to give back and has helped us do it with success and impact.

{Gathering to volunteer with my team really helped remind us of what’s important, strengthened connections between staff members, and left us all feeling inspired. It was amazing to meet and support passionate people who make the world a better place. Lots of us are going to go back and continue to volunteer.
