What do you gain from participating in STATIA DOET?
Being a part of STATIA DOET will give a positive impulse to the island as well as to your company or school. On top of that, you are setting a great example and boosting your image. It can do wonders internally as well; it can motivate employees, broaden horizons, and open up new networks. The media buzz surrounding such a well-publicized event is likely to result in positive media coverage for your company or group. Students will gain valuable experience when helping out as (first time) volunteers.
On top of that, it will surely be an incredibly inspiring and fun day! Volunteering works both ways: as the participating organizations can reach goals that day that they might not have been able to achieve without your help.
Participate as organization
STATIA DOET is the opportunity 'par excellence' to demonstrate your organization’s commitment to a better and more liveable society. Take on an engaging project with all your colleagues / employees, or see it as a novel alternative to traditional team building events or company excursions. Your employees will acquire new skills and have a gratifying experience. But you can do even more! Offer your products or services for free, sponsor materials or provide lunch. Get your network, clients and media partners involved as well and help finish the job successfully.
Participate as school
Naturally schools -just one class or even all the pupils- are more than welcome to participate as well in STATIA DOET. Consider organizing a game day in a care home or renovating a playground.
