Volunteering and the Work Place

Volunteering together as a team can be a great way to build morale while giving back to the community. In addition to boosting morale, it helps individuals step outside their comfort zones and encounter new situations. Unfamiliar circumstances are inevitable in business so this can be a great team exercise to help employees think creatively.

At TCG Events, we incorporate volunteering into our regular work responsibilities. Each month, a team member is assigned the task of organizing this experience. Our most recent experience gave us the opportunity to enhance the children’s play area at Thompson Child Development Center. We planted shrubs, grass and added stepping stones to create a more inviting atmosphere for the children. Thompson Child Development Center provides education, treatment and care for children who are suffering and focuses on the well-being of children and their families.

Past TCG volunteer experiences include working with the Salvation Army, gift wrapping, serving food at soup kitchens, gardening with the Urban Ministry, organizing the library at Charlotte United Christian Academy, and many others. Each month, we look forward to welcoming a new opportunity and challenge through our volunteer efforts. If you are looking for a way to become involved, click here to find out how.
