PA Consulting Accelerate Impact Through Remote Volunteering In 2023
How PA Consulting employees volunteered remotely throughout 2023
PA Consulting (PA), the global innovation and transformation consultancy, enabled their teams to volunteer their skills remotely to supercharge inspiring impact entrepreneurs throughout 2023. The PA Consulting Change Days saw their teams using their skills to strategically support social enterprises and impact startups addressing challenges across the world.
The Partnership
Following on from a series of Change Days carried out in 2022, PA Consulting continued their partnership with We Make Change, a global volunteering platform that connects remote volunteers with impact startups, to engage more employees through these online volunteering events.
Finding new and innovative approaches to overcome the world's biggest challenges is intrinsic to who PA Consulting are. Through their community programme, they focus on helping people from disadvantaged backgrounds to become the innovators and leaders of tomorrow.
Which is why partnering with We Make Change to deliver a series of Change Days is a perfect fit. Through Change Days, PA Consulting employees have the opportunity to directly contribute to the philanthropic mission of PA Consulting and make a tangible impact on the welfare of many across the world through remote volunteering.
