As coronavirus spreads across the globe, state and local governments are banning large events, and companies are playing their part in encouraging or mandating that all employees who can work from home, to stem the tide of the virus. One unfortunate side effect of this is that companies are having to cancel or postpone volunteer engagements with groups they often supported in person. PCV’s BusinessAdvising.org platform enables companies to offer scalable volunteer opportunities that are 100% remote – you can volunteer on the phone, over Facetime and video chat, or even on email.
If you have expertise in finance, HR, marketing, and other areas that are specifically helpful to serve as a thought partner with small business owners suddenly facing a challenging economic environment, your skills are especially needed now.
Small businesses that work with a mentor through PCV’s BusinessAdvising.org platform grow their revenues by 20% on average, and create jobs for working people at ten times the national rate. Consider this easy and engaging way to volunteer—because chances are, remote volunteering will enable you to volunteer more often. And really, what’s better than that?
If your company is interested in finding ways to support small businesses across the U.S. with free advising and business coaching in these difficult months, contact us today to find out how to partner with PCV to engage with the businessadvising.org platform as we try to ramp up our reach to more SBOs in this time of crisis. You can send us your employees as volunteers, share the platform with small businesses in your client base or supply chain, or support the platform nationwide.
Volunteering—so many people want to do it, but in our busy lives it’s safe to say that many of us don’t feel like we’re doing it enough. Whether you have a tight schedule or are finding it difficult to find your volunteer-niche, remote volunteering can offer a flexible solution.
You might be thinking, “Who has time to volunteer?” But the truth is, it only takes less than 5 hours a month to make a big difference in someone else’s life. Don’t worry if you’ve never worked for or run your own small business. Our team will match you with the right small business based on what you can contribute.
