Last week, we concluded the second Project V Learning Circle session as we explored the transformative role of leadership in corporate volunteering, managing partnerships, and sustaining meaningful volunteer efforts. Our corporate and community partners engaged in candid conversation, sharing their experiences and insights from their volunteering journey thus far. Special thanks to our panel dialogue speakers Jun Jie Cheong (HCSA Community Services), Marc Fritz Magboo (C&W Services Singapore), Sandy Yeo (Nestlé Nespresso SA) for their tips and reassurance on fostering a culture of corporate volunteering. Here are some key highlights: Leadership Engagement in Volunteering — True leadership involvement is more than just top-down policies. When leaders roll up their sleeves and volunteer alongside staff, it sends a powerful signal of commitment. Managing Expectations in Partnerships — Effective partnerships are rooted in trust, clarity, and communication. Flexibility is key. Community partners often plan a variety of volunteering opportunities to engage different corporate groups. Resourcing for Sustained Partnerships — Scaling volunteer efforts often means learning to set expectations about resourcing and timelines. Delegation and thoughtful planning, like aligning volunteering events with peak and off-peak periods, can help sustain long-term impact. Project V is all about making corporate volunteering sustainable and ensuring alignment with both business goals and community needs. Through feedback and collaboration, we can ensure that every volunteer opportunity is a meaningful contribution to the community. Together, we can build a stronger culture of giving back, benefiting not just the community but your organisation as well!
