Hello everyone,
This month we’ll be celebrating Week for Good, a time each year when Airbnb hosts and employees come together to give back to our local communities.
Last year, we collectively contributed more than 8,500 hours of service through 170 projects in 30 cities across 16 countries. Will you join us this year?
Our goal is to encourage hosts across the world to join forces and contribute some extra time to their local communities. You can collaborate with other Airbnb hosts on a group project or simply get out and volunteer on your own.
If you don’t know where to start, here are some ways to get involved:
- Reach out to contacts at organizations where you have already volunteered to see if they accept groups and can help you coordinate an event.
- Ask friends, family members, or colleagues who volunteer if the organization they support takes groups and if they can help you make a connection.
- Organizations such as food banks, soup kitchens, shelters, community gardens, or a parks department often take volunteer groups on a one-time basis. Check their websites for a contact or online calendar where you can can pre-register a group visit.
- Search online for “group volunteer opportunities” with your city name and see what organizations pop up. In the United States, volunteermatch.org offers a great database of organizations seeking volunteers.
We would love to hear from you if you decide to volunteer. Please share stories and photos below, or via social media with the hashtag #AirbnbforGood!
