The Connection Crisis: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How Volunteering Can Help

Join us for an essential conversation on the personal, organizational, and societal stakes of disconnection, and how connection-centered volunteering can rebuild the bonds our workplaces and communities need most.

Key Takeaways
  • Establish a shared understanding of what social connection means in workplace and community contexts, moving beyond surface-level engagement to strengthen relationships and build trust across lines of difference.
  • Explore why connection has become the defining challenge of our time, and how investing in it today can strengthen culture, performance, and well-being for generations to come.
  • Discover why corporate volunteering programs are uniquely positioned to address the connection crisis—offering structured "third spaces" where employees encounter one another as equals, build relationships across differences, and develop shared purpose at scale.
  • Get a first look at key findings and frameworks from Volunteering Reconnected, co-developed with leaders across business, government, academia, and social impact. Learn how the U.S. Chamber of Connection and Goodera are helping organizations translate these insights into measurable impact.
