Skills-based Volunteering
Through our corporate partnerships, Team4Tech connects teams of skilled employee volunteers with global education-focused nonprofits to co-design solutions that help these organizations build employability skills for more learners. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting your professional journey, your skills, and experience can make a lasting impact with our nonprofit partners.
Volunteering with Team4Tech is also an opportunity for you to build leadership capabilities, connect with colleagues from different functions and regions, and renew a sense of purpose.
Use your skills to expand educational and economic opportunities for learners around the world
Strategic pro bono programs activate a team of corporate volunteers to work with a nonprofit on designing and implementing a technology solution such as digitizing curriculum to reach more refugees in Kenya or designing maker spaces for women entrepreneurs in rural Mexico.
Design workshops engage volunteers to spend a few hours designing solutions for key challenges facing a nonprofit such as “How might we reach more girls with our STEM programs?”
Activating Changemakers
After his project, Team4Tech Fellow Nick Heaton from Cadence Design Systems joined the board of Women in Tech Uganda (WITU), helped them launch a microloan program for women entrepreneurs, and raised money to feed impoverished families in Kampala during the COVID 19 crisis.
After the volunteering experience, I started to involve myself more with projects in my city and with the company. I think the confidence I gained helped me to step out and raise my hand in the corporate world. For example, I’m giving 2 seminars about women empowerment. I wouldn’t have had the courage to do this in the past.”

Life gets really hectic and as much as I would like to give back to those who need it, sometimes it’s difficult to fit volunteering into my life. Having the opportunity to give back be offered by my employer made it a no-brainer decision for me to sign up.”

Programs like this are life changing. Not only do you use your own skills to make a difference in a different part of the world but the employees that came out of this come back extremely skilled up and more productive.”
