PROYECTOS INTERNACIONALES
International
Projects
Our extensive international experiences allow us to design global volunteer strategies, as we have already done so for companies such as Amadeus, UN Volunteers, or EDP. We are implementing projects in more than 25 countries and managing global programs like:
- The International Week of Repsol Foundation
- Other Countries of Telefonica Foundation
- UN Volunteers Competence Program
- CoerporatesCaixa of Caixa Bank
For these projects, we have a multilingual and multidisciplinary team, able to address projects at an international level in different languages: Spanish, Catalon, Basque, English, Portugese, German, French and Italian.
We are an active part of the principal global networks that promote volunteering, so we know and apply the latest trends.
Tell us your concerns and needs! We adapt to the reality and necessities of each environment and project.

Te escuhamos / T´escolte / We listen to you / Wir hören Ihnen zu / Nous vous écoutons / Nós ouvimo-lo / Vi ascoltiamo

We accompany you around the world
We accompany our clients to promote a strategic and innovative corporate volunteering and social participation program for their interest groups. We do this to have a positive impact in the community, in all of the parts of the world in which we operate.
To advise the programs correctly, we consider the specific needs of each client, the areas of interest, culture, corporate values, and previous activites or volunteer programs.
With this information, including all of our experience and knowledge of global trends in corporate volunteering or social participation, we search for effective, innovative, and adaptive responses to each environment.
Already trusted international projects













Some of our international experiences:
Stategic Employee Community engagement

In 2020, we coordinated the international strategy for 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 of engagement with the community, as the name of the program includes, for all the countries in which it operates in the world.
Among the different actions that have been developed from this strategy, we highlight the organization of the Volunteer Month and call forth the Social Impact Challenge, in which an important global call to action was made so that people working in the company will help identify sustainable world tourism projects.

LEARN ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE
IN LATIN AMERICA
Volies has been accompanying companies, networks, and organizations in Latin America to professionalize corporate volunteering for several years.

We have developed projects for:







Corporate Volunteering Strategy
Corporate Volunteering Strategy
We accompany ACAP in the Dominican Republic in the design of its Corporate Volunteering Strategy.
We design the structure, processes and procedures, guides, KPIs and other tools necessary to carry it out.
Finally, a 3-year Action Plan was designed.

Letters To combat loneliness
During the COVID-19 emergency, we implemented the project “Letters against loneliness” in different Latin American countries, a transfer of knowledge in the same project that we had already successfully implemented in Spain.
Collaborating with 23 organizations oriented to the welfare of the elderly in 21 cities in Colombia, Costa Rica and Panama with 1,407 Volunteers supporting 1,023 beneficiaries.

Collaborative and multi-tenant experience
Pioneered experience of a collaborative international corporate volunteering and multi-tenant initiative. Participants from 2 allied networks in Latin America (Clave) and Spain (Voluntare), 4 social entities and 5 companies (Caixabank, Telefonica Foundation, Iberdrola, DirecTV, The Walt Disney Company Latin America).
In total, 19 volunteers participated, with an average dedication of 23 hours each, a total of 437 hours.

Training for Allied Entities
Training in Corporate Volunteering for the allied social entities of TOTAL Austral corporate volunteer program.
An agenda focused on exemplifying ways to adapt volunteer support to non-face-to-face modals and showing how corporate volunteering can be a tool for NGOs to establish sustainable partnerships with the private sector.

Management of corporate volunteering in social organizations
Currently, together with the Bolivar Davivienda Foundation along with their Aflora and Volunteering programs, we are building a pilot experience based on the “Certification of Excellence in the management of corporate volunteering of Voluntare” and the co-creation of learning experiences.
This is intended to develop and strengthen the corporate volunteer program network in its partner social organizations and participating NGOs.

Strategic Management course program of corporate volunteering
Together with the chair of CSR and Sustainability, Alejandro E. Grullon E, in the Dominican Republic’s foundation of the Pontifical Catholic University Mother and Teacher, we launched the virtual course-workshop with the aim of helping corporate volunteer managers of companies and social entities to acquire the theoretical knowledge, the practical knowledge, and the necessary skills to manage a corporate volunteer program.
Another one of our success stories in Latin America is the collaboration for several years with TRASO, a collective that has more than 30 affiliated companies to generate prosperity in the communities and to reduce the inequality gap in the population. We work collaboratively with TRASO to strengthen the corporate volunteer programs of its affiliated companies to transfer knowledge to their team so they can replicate the actions together with their entire network and we carry out a project to measure the impact on the skills of the volunteers.



For us, working with voiles has been very enriching in many ways, one of them is knowing that they are allies that promote the collective good and therefore share their experiences and good practices with others, which has allowed us to learn much more about this world of corporate volunteering.
For Traso, it is important to work with entities that manage this knowledge strategically and Volies is an organization that administers this valuable knowledge of management in volunteer matters.
Thank you Volies for working together to transform communities through volunteering.
