Give an hour. Change a career.
Most volunteering asks for a day, a rota and a change of clothes. This asks for 30 minutes at a desk, and it is the volunteering your people are already qualified to do.

Why this date works for mentoring.
Mentors give their time voluntarily, so this day is a straight mentor recruitment campaign.
Volunteering that fits
Thirty minutes, online, no travel, no rota, no minimum commitment.
Hours logged for you
Every session is captured as volunteering time and reported without any admin.
A tree per session
Environmental impact that counts towards your sustainability goals.
Skills-based, not sandwich-making
Your people give the thing that only they can give: what they know.
From sign-off to a number you can report.
- 01
Six weeks out, pick the number
Agree how many 30-minute sessions the day is aiming for, and who they are for.
- 02
Four weeks out, open sign-ups
One link goes out internally. Colleagues say yes in a minute and pick nothing else.
- 03
Two weeks out, we match
Mentees are matched on subject and time zone, and sessions land straight into diaries.
- 04
On the day, it runs
Sessions happen, the counter climbs, and your people see the total move in real time.
- 05
The week after, you report
A wrap-up with sessions, subjects, countries, hours given and trees planted.
What partners actually do on the day.
A target expressed in volunteering hours, not sessions
A team-versus-team push across offices
An end-of-year total published with the trees planted
A December ask that carries sign-ups into January
The things people ask first.
Does this count as volunteering time?
Yes. Each 30-minute session is logged and included in your reporting.
How much commitment is it?
One session. Mentors choose how often they take part after that.
Do you really plant a tree?
Yes, one for every completed session, and it appears in your impact reporting.
Make International Volunteer Day count this year.
A 15-minute call is enough to agree the date, the target and who the sessions go to.
