Remote Volunteer and Help Businesses Hit By COVID-19

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Pacific Community Ventures

As coronavirus spreads across the globe, state and local governments are banning large events, and companies are playing their part in encouraging or mandating that all employees who can work from home, to stem the tide of the virus. One unfortunate side effect of this is that companies are having to cancel or postpone volunteer engagements with groups they often supported in person. PCV’s BusinessAdvising.org platform enables individuals (and whole companies) to volunteer 100% remotely - you can volunteer on the phone, over Facetime and video chat, or even on email.

If you have expertise in finance, HR, marketing, and other areas that are specifically helpful to serve as a thought partner with small business owners suddenly facing a challenging economic environment, your skills are especially needed now.

Small businesses that work with a volunteer advisor through PCV’s BusinessAdvising.org platform grow their revenues by 20% on average, and create jobs for working people at ten times the national rate. Consider this easy and engaging way to volunteer-because chances are, remote volunteering will enable you to volunteer more often. And really, what’s better than that?

If your you're is interested in finding ways to support small businesses across the U.S. with free advising and business coaching in these difficult months, contact us today!

You might be thinking, "Who has time to volunteer?" But the truth is, it only takes less than 5 hours a month to make a big difference in someone else’s life. Don’t worry if you’ve never worked for or run your own small business. Our team will match you with the right small business based on what you can contribute.

How does it work?

  • Create Your Profile: Take 10 minutes to tell us about your career experience, skills, and other areas of expertise.
  • Get Paired: We’ll propose matches, but the final decision on who you mentor is up to you.
  • Start Connecting: We’ll provide some structure and guidance to get you started.
