Pre-Program Management Consultation
Metro Volunteers will consult with senior management and other appropriate levels of management to review your company's history of financial and personnel community involvement and to engage management's support of the program. The discussion will focus on overall corporate goals and objectives of an employee volunteer program.

Employee Survey
Metro Volunteers will conduct and tabulate an employee survey to assess current community involvement and employee interests and to gain an estimate of employee participation. Also, employee focus groups will be facilitated to establish a baseline of interest, assess expectations and perceptions, and gain ownership into program.

Program Structure
Metro Volunteers will coordinate the development of program strategies, systems and procedures. The selection and training of program leaders will result in a successful, ongoing internal program. Also inherent to the program are budget development, implementation of a tracking system and coordination of a volunteer recognition program.

Nonprofit Agency Liaison
To ensure positive relationships with the nonprofit sector, Metro Volunteers will research project possibilities and introduce your company to potential nonprofit partnerships that meet corporate specifications. Site visits are conducted on an as-needed basis.

Project Management
Metro Volunteers will manage all aspects of the program from the initial nonprofit contact through the actual day of service - or selected segments in between. Metro Volunteers will serve as the liaison to the nonprofit agency, coordinate logistics, and provide company volunteers with the necessary details of the project and information regarding the nonprofit agency they will be helping. Individual project evaluation forms can be provided, along with reports on volunteer hours contributed and the relative value of the project to the nonprofit organization(s).

Marketing/Public Relations
To generate internal interest in the Corporate Volunteer Program, Metro Volunteers can assist in organizing a company kick-off event, which includes a sign-up opportunity for prospective projects. An employee volunteer handbook and/or group presentations will inform employees of the procedures and process of being a volunteer. A brochure about the program can be produced to market your company's social involvement externally. Project specific photographs or brief feature articles can also be provided for internal communications.

We offer various partnership/sponsorship opportunities allowing for individual and company name recognition through internet, television, radio, newspaper and magazine coverage - enhancing your company's positive public image and building company morale.
