Anyone is welcome to participate!

Days of Caring is still be a great opportunity to bring your coworkers together (virtually) to do good. You can sign up for a supply drive together, schedule a team check-in to debrief what you learn in an education session, host a friendly competition within your team to reach out to elected officials and use social networks to advocate for change… the possibilities are many and varied!

It is up to the organization hosting the Day of Caring project whether they accept volunteers under 18. Before the event, please check with the organization’s contact person for their policy on youth volunteers. For programming throughout the week, we invite you to use your best judgement as to what activities would be appropriate and engaging for your children.

You can volunteer as an individual or a team. If you are volunteering as an individual, you won’t have a team lead, so just make sure you have all the info you need from the organization hosting the project. Also, note that if you are volunteering as a part of a team you may be volunteering with other groups or individuals. If you want to ensure that you are volunteering as a part of a private project with just your group, please reach out to dayofcaring@uwkc.org.
