Corporate Social Responsibility and Community Caring

Corporate Caring Programs

Also known as Corporate Social Responsibility, or CSR, these programs have been created to affect positive change in your company and your neighborhood. Community Caring is essentially a way to donate either your time or specifically requested goods to local non profits, schools, and other charitable organizations.

By participating in a Community Caring event participants feel an even deeper connection to the meaning behind their work. Being able to recall the feelings and details of the day lends itself to greater transference and a larger impact on the group and on the beneficiaries.

Below is a sampling of our corporate caring programs and a handful of the companies who have experienced and enjoyed our programs. To view our full program menu or learn more about a particular experience, contact one of our program specialists at info@positiveadventures.com.

Bike Build

This is an exciting fast-paced “corporate caring” community service project. Participants leave feeling a strong sense of admiration for their teammates and the company they work for. So how does it work? Upon arrival participants are broken into teams by receiving different color bandanas. The music is playing and the room is abuzz with folks dancing and there is a general excitement in the air. Each team will need to participate in several rounds of mind-stumping trivia, action packed challenges, and activities to receive the necessary parts to build their bikes. Once all the rounds are over and the bikes are built, there may be a surprise for your team when the children come running out to receive their bikes. There won’t be a dry eye left in the house!

Time: 1.5-2.5 hours; 12-1000+ participants

This service project will get your team outdoors and help to support healthy start initiatives.

School Makeover: Plant-A-Playground

“P.H.D.” Philanthropic Helping Day: Teaching Skills that Change the World

For a culture facing serious environmental, economic, and health troubles, growing even a portion of our own food can pave the way to improving all three of these problems. Even better than that, we can give the resources and knowledge to our children since they hold the world in their hands. This P.H.D. program allows participants to learn skills that range from organic cooking to garden building, and the how-tos of composting. Participants will not only gain these skills themselves, but will also have the opportunity to donate a garden box, garden tools and composting bin to a local school or organization in need. Your company is separated into different groups that rotate around a series of stations set-up to learn a variety of skills from a professional and to prep items to be donated. Many hands make light work!

Time: 3-4 hours; 10-300 participants

Team Participating in a Corporate Team Building Program

Corporate Causeway: Can’t Choose Just One?

Can’t decide on just one way to give back?? Combine several of the above programs into a Corporate Causeway! The Corporate Causeway is a Race for a Cause where teams race through several service stations. To move through the race, participants will need to work through a series of clues and activities that will put their group to the test.

Your generosity goes a long way.
