Learn how to create meaningful, well-organized volunteer experiences that meet the needs of both your organization and corporate volunteer groups. This session will provide practical tips for planning and setting up service activities, understanding what corporate groups are looking for, setting clear expectations, and creating experiences that deliver meaningful impact. We’ll also explore popular days of service and frequent service dates that can help organizations plan ahead, attract corporate partners and make the most of these valuable volunteer opportunities. Whether you’re new to working with corporate volunteers or looking to strengthen your existing partnerships, you’ll leave with ideas and tools you can put into practice right away.

Come learn with us as we watch the virtual sessions together and have topical discussions throughout the day. Every currently active VAN Member is invited to join! Topic: Embracing the Future of Volunteer Engagement, Building for Resilience and Sustainability Volunteer professionals are being asked to do more than ever. Organization leaders want clear outcomes. Communities expect flexibility. Technology is no longer optional. Resources are stretched thin. And volunteer engagement is at the center of it all. At this year‘s Volunteer Management Hybrid Conference on Tuesday, October 20th, 2026, you will connect with peers who are navigating these same realities and asking the hard questions about what comes next. Together, you will explore practical approaches to building more resilient, sustainable volunteer engagement strategies, and walk away with clearer direction, stronger frameworks, and the confidence to lead through change.
