What is the Corporate
Volunteering Collective?

The Corporate Volunteering Collective is a living platform where social impact leaders, tech platforms, and industry bodies shape the future of volunteering. As we bring the Collective to Chicago, we’re convening local ecosystem leaders for a high-trust gathering where research meets action, ideas become pilots, and purpose drives real impact.

The Corporate Volunteering Collective brings together practitioners from across the corporate social impact ecosystem to explore what's next for volunteering.



Through summits, workshops, supper clubs, and webinars hosted across multiple cities, the Collective creates opportunities to exchange ideas, challenge conventional thinking, and design programs that place volunteering at the heart of corporate purpose.

  • Emerging trends shaping the future of corporate volunteering in New York
  • Practical strategies for designing engaging, high-impact volunteer programs

  • How AI and new technologies are transforming volunteering and social impact

  • Innovative approaches to skills-based volunteering and employee engagement

  • Insights from practitioners who are solving real-world challenges across the CSR ecosystem
  • CSR and corporate social impact leaders from New York
  • Nonprofit and community partners
  • Industry organizations and ecosystem partners shaping the future of volunteering

Why The Standard, High Line

A Space That Feels Like New York
‍
We wanted this gathering to feel like New York, not just take place in it. That's why we're convening at The Standard, High Line, an architectural landmark in the Meatpacking District that sits right over the High Line park. Its floor-to-ceiling glass walls look out on the Hudson River and the Manhattan skyline. It's one of the city's most recognizable settings, and the right place to bring some downtown energy to the day.
