This immersive, hands-on, skills-based volunteering experience pairs corporate teams with nonprofits to solve real organizational challenges across marketing, communication, design, operations, and strategic planning.

Examples of skills-based volunteer opportunities include:

• Reviewing and improving a sponsorship deck to attract new partners
  
• Designing a sustainable social media & content strategy
  
• Developing cybersecurity awareness resources to protect seniors from digital scams
  
• Analyzing why a website isn’t generating traffic and recommending SEO improvements

Throughout the skills volunteering session, participants strengthen leadership, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking skills, while gaining meaningful exposure to the nonprofit sector and the communities it serves.

Without the use of their vision, each participant is required to use their other senses throughout the experience. Without their sight, the group must find a common language to accomplish the challenges. In this empathy exercise, each challenge is followed by a short discussion on what they just experienced and how it relates to the everyday challenges faced by their host, giving everyone a truly soulful view into disabilities, adversity, and diversity.  

Sight Unseen is a unique and effective team building event that builds lasting awareness and empathy for you, as well as provides much-needed employment to our blind or visually impaired Program Hosts.

Once your group is divided into teams, each team chooses its own board game-style character. As players make their way through the game, they face a series of challenges based around instructive business challenge scenarios. Teams consider each scenario, then work together to agree on a best course of action. The goal is to earn game points by making the best possible decision.  

Players have to think about each story separately, reading between the lines for clues to deeper meaning. They must visualize the context, use their experience to weigh the pros and cons, then choose the most appropriate action. By weighing a variety of approaches to problem solving, each player can learn more about his or her own leadership style, including its impact on team climate and overall results.

Leadership Stories is an entertaining tool that can really improve your leadership’s ability to inspire, engage and motivate the whole team.

The puzzle is also a fantastic metaphor for a team – each member of your team can be looked at as an essential piece of a greater whole. Puzzles require perspective and patience, both of which are essential to creating and maintaining a successful team.

After a facilitator leads everyone through a quick introductory puzzle, your group is divided into smaller teams for collaboration in breakout rooms. One of their challenges is to complete a 60-piece puzzle. But that’s just a portion of an even larger puzzle. When the teams all bring their completed sections together, the big reveal leaves everyone feeling that they’ve achieved transformational through working together. And they’re right.

Punctuated by moments of inspired improv, the show weaves itself around a conversation between the two performers, or a special guest interview. We draw on an anonymous audience survey to suggest topic ideas live and in the moment. The format is deceptively simple: Listen. Empathize. Contribute. Repeat.

Your program also includes Talk Back – a 30-minute follow-up with the performers, hosted by one of our master facilitators. This interactive portion gives your team space to freely discuss improv, diversity and inclusion, workplace culture and more. All in all, it provides a refreshing (and long overdue) take on diversity and inclusion.
