Corporate Volunteering

Corporate Volunteering with your workplace or as a team

Welcome to the Our Village Corporate Volunteering Program where your team can make a real difference for Victoria’s most vulnerable babies and children.

Looking for the ultimate team-building experience with more purpose than a scavenger hunt and better rewards than an escape room? You and your team can enjoy a break from your day-to-day to roll up your sleeves and help out in our welcoming Melbourne (Clayton) or Geelong warehouses.

Our Corporate Volunteering days are a great way to connect with your colleagues and work together to create real change for families in need.

Here are just a few of the meaningful tasks you’ll tackle:

  • Cleaning and safety-checking prams and car seats to ensure every child travels safely.
  • Sorting clothing, books and toy packs that bring joy and comfort to local families.
  • Preparing special toiletries packs for babies and carers, ensuring they receive the high-quality essentials they deserve.

Join us to collaborate, connect, and contribute – together, we can make a lasting impact.

Activity

Your team will get hands-on in one of the Our Village warehouses, making a meaningful difference by organising, cleaning or packing essential items for vulnerable babies and children. Depending on the day, your team may be cleaning, safety-checking, and assembling prams, car seats, and high chairs, sorting and packing clothing, toys, and books or preparing toiletries packs for babies and carers.

At the end of the day, we’ll celebrate the impact you’ve had and we’ll also share images of your team at work from the day. 

Timings – Melbourne: Monday – Friday (9.30am – 4pm); Geelong: Monday – Friday (9.30am – 2.30pm).

Group Size and Cost

Melbourne (Clayton) Warehouse:
