What are Collective Impact Days?
Collective Impact Days are nationally recognized days of service that encourage people and organizations to volunteer around a shared theme or moment in time.
Examples include:
Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service
Earth Day
National Day of Service and Remembrance
These days help focus volunteer energy around specific causes and create a sense of shared community impact.
On Volunteer Link:
Corporate volunteers can filter and search Needs by Collective Impact Days.
This makes your Needs easier to discover for volunteers who specifically want to serve on these recognized days.
Adding your Needs to a Collective Impact Day can increase visibility, interest, and participation from corporate volunteers.
How to Add a Collective Impact Day
Site Managers and Agency Managers can add Needs to Collective Impact Days directly within the Need form.
You can add:
An individual Need to a Collective Impact Day, or
All Needs within an Initiative to a Collective Impact Day at once.
When a Need is added to a Collective Impact Day:
It becomes searchable and filterable by that day in Volunteer Link.
Corporate volunteers browsing Volunteer Link for that day can find your opportunity more easily.
Collective Impact Days will not change how your opportunities are viewed or accessed on your site. This only impacts corporate volunteers using Volunteer Link.
