There are millions of children worldwide in need of basics like food, shelter, and education, as well as champions to believe in them along the way. Changing their lives can start with just an hour of your workday and a meaningful partnership with a nonprofit leading the way for the next generation.
ChildFund International helps deprived, excluded, and vulnerable children have the capacity to become young adults and leaders who bring lasting and positive change to their communities. In 2024 alone, ChildFund reached 23 countries and 14.8 million children and families.
Employees know the importance of uplifting the next generation. Many are parents or caregivers themselves. That’s why ChildFund’s engagement activities resonate so deeply with Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) focused on parents, caregivers, and family life.
These ERGs are likely looking to find a meaningful way to honor World Children’s Day on November 20, a day dedicated to the wellbeing of kids worldwide. Luckily, you can celebrate employee engagement while supporting the next generation by partnering with ChildFund. Check out the quick engagement activity below to learn how.
Employee engagement offering: Messages of Hope
ChildFund’s Messages of Hope program is designed to engage your employees while making a real difference in the lives of children in need. The heart of the program lies in colleagues — teams, ERGs, or the whole company — coming together to create cards, handwritten notes, or digital creations with encouraging words for children living in vulnerable situations around the world. These messages can be simple, playful, heartfelt, or even include artwork from employees’ children.
ChildFund staff will host the event virtually or in person for your employees, leading the message-writing exercise and sharing insights on the children and families they’ll be connecting with. Children from their programs will express their gratitude to your company through a personalized thank you video, showcasing the positive impact your contribution has made on their lives. ChildFund will also share their annual Children’s Greatest Needs report for your own reporting efforts, which describes how your team’s contribution is used to create lasting change.
This event makes a real impact on children around the world while uniting your team through the opportunity to give back. Build your team spirit and inspire collaboration and creativity in your colleagues while you uplift kids in need.
