International experience

We have extensive international experience, having worked in more than 40 countries and a multidisciplinary team in Spain, Italy, Ireland, France, Germany, Portugal, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and Colombia, which allows us to design strategies and address projects on a global scale.

We are also an active part of the main world networks that promote volunteering and active participation of citizens, being up to date with the latest trends.

Some of our international experiences.

We guide UN Volunteers in the design of their competency certification program.

Global Volunteer Strategy

One of our greatest examples of our work at the international level is the one we have been developing for AWS for the last two years. We have designed the AWS Global Volunteering Strategy. Organizing the first Global Volunteer Month in 2024 in: Tokyo, Sydney, Seattle, Seattle, Santa Clara, New York, Herndon, Bangalore, Austin, Arlington, London, Dublin. Supporting the company in the search for partnerships, community relationship management and design of local projects. As well as in the management of the program’s communication, with the production of videos and different graphic supports .

Employee Community Engagement Strategy

We coordinated the international strategy for the company Amadeus. One of the characteristics that makes this program special is that it is one of the few companies that from Spain leads all the actions not only of corporate volunteering, but also of engagement with the community, as the name of the program itself states, for all the countries in which it operates in the world. Among the different actions developed from this strategy, the organization of the Volunteer Month and the call for the Social Impact Challenge stand out, in which an important call to global action was made for people working in the company to help identify sustainable tourism projects worldwide.

Other Countries Program

Since 2015, Fundación Teléfonica’s Other Countries program has included different actions worldwide for its International Volunteer Day, in which hundreds of volunteers participate. Since 2017 we also participate in the international coordination of activities in more than 12 countries and since 2019 we manage its corporate volunteering program entirely in Germany through the coordination of its technical office.

Mentoring and corporate volunteering with high social impact

With the purpose of promoting the sustainable economic development of the Colombian countryside, Volies accompanies the Bancolombia Foundation in high-impact corporate volunteering activities, such as the design and implementation of Mentoring Marathons to help organizations and rural enterprises to solve specific challenges in their management, or environmental protection and conservation actions in enclaves of great ecological value for Colombia, such as the Biosuroeste Agropark and the Salamanca Island Park, among others.

Management of corporate volunteering in social organizations

We conducted a pilot experience in 2023 for the Bolivar Davivienda Foundation based on the “Voluntare Certification of Excellence in Corporate Volunteer Management”, thanks to which 14 social entities received training. In 2024, the experience was repeated with another 14 entities, with the purpose of developing and strengthening the corporate volunteering program network in their allied social organizations and participating NGOs.

Partnerships for a better Europe

We interact and form part of reference entities in Europe such as Volonteurope, from which we learn and to which we contribute our experience. We have coordinated programs for the European Commission and the United Nations.

And from our Volies Association we participate since 2019 in European projects, together with other organizations with which we share values, contributing to the common project of a social, diverse, inclusive, supportive, united and innovative Europe..

Volonteurope

We are members of the Board of Volonteurope, a European network for the promotion of volunteering, active citizenship and social justice that facilitates the exchange of ideas, projects and knowledge. We are 50 members from 20 countries.

European Commission

We have worked for years for organizations such as the United Nations and the European Commission. In 2021 we guided UN Volunteers in the design of its Competency Certification Program for its 11,000 volunteers present in 160 countries.

European Projects

We are currently part of Resiliage, together with 17 other European partners. Starting from considering community practices as “Natural Cultural Heritage”, Resiliage aims to access it as a source for disaster risk management, in the search for co-creating solutions to cope with disasters.

Partner Networks

Networks are essential to Volies. They allow us to learn about the latest trends, successful practices and significant experiences. And in the same way contribute all our experience during these 10 years.

From Volies we coordinate Voluntare, the largest Spanish-speaking corporate volunteer network, we are members of the board of directors of Volonteurope. For the last 4 years we have been part of the Assembly of Points of Ligth, the world’s largest organization dedicated to volunteering, of which our Project Director Julia Aramendi is its Vice Chair and we are members of the Global ProBono Network, Forum and IAVE.
