A personal journey of discovery
Our accomplished facilitators and subject matter experts help those responsible for employee volunteering (whether staff or volunteers) understand the value and potential of their role to benefit local communities as well as their company and themselves.
The Institute provides participants with the skills and confidence to go back to their companies as stronger leaders who can drive the goals of the volunteer program toward greater impact.
Born out of experience in training thousands of employees across more than 50 companies, evidence suggest that the more personal discovery that occurs, the greater the commitment is to goals, agreements, and action plans. Participants are encouraged to take a journey of personal discovery and reflection enabling them to return to work fully prepared to turn their new ideas to life.
The RWI Regional Campus
The RWI Regional Campus is a two-day experiential learning and development course designed for corporate employee volunteer leaders and corporate nonprofit partners. This two-day intensive training is a highly immersive learning opportunity that brings together employees from multiple companies to create a shared understanding of the significance and power of volunteering and develop leadership competencies required to deliver effective volunteering experiences.
The Approach
Launching in February 2020, the RWI Regional Campus offers champions, ambassadors and impact leaders of corporate volunteer programs a professional development opportunity that is both practical and affordable. Participants are instructed by the RWI Faculty who represent some of most respected academics authors, practitioners, and innovative thought leaders in the field.
At the end of each training, we help participants establish individual actions plans based on what they have learned and experienced. Participates are invited to join Campus Cohorts which provide a framework for accountability as they implement their new skills.
