5 Team Activities to Make an Impact This Summer

With summer only two months away, May is the perfect time to start thinking about how to elevate your company’s summer retreat, barbeque, or intern program. What if your next team event builds connections, boosts morale and gives back to a cause your company values?

According to the Cleveland Clinic, getting into nature and taking a break from the office provides a boost of dopamine and serotonin to help improve mood and increase focus. Similarly, giving back to a charitable cause your company cares about packs those same mood boosting, feel-good benefits, while also strengthening social connections, as reported by UAB News.

Featured Events

Impact 4 Good offers purpose-driven customizable CSR events designed to do both. From our onsite, hands-on activity, Takin’ It to the Streets, where teams venture into the community to complete much-needed projects, to Comfort Buddies, an activity that brings teams together to build stuffed animals for children in hospitals, our activities are structured to build team connections while practicing acts of kindness.

Below are 5 of our most popular activities that can be adapted to an outdoor environment to give you that much needed mood booster:

1. Putting for a Purpose: Build a golf course from food items, then pack food items into boxes to donate to a local food pantry.
2. Beads to Beat Cancer: Create bracelets to donate to local cancer treatment facilities.
3. Save our Shoreline: Use reclaimed materials to create bracelets and assemble Shoreline Cleanup Kits for kids.
4. Beehive Building: Construct beehives to support local ecosystems and farmers and promote sustainability.
5. Go Green Racing: Encourage STEAM education by assembling “solar car kits” for kids after creating and racing a solar car.

With warm days and longer daylight hours ahead, summer is the perfect time to get outside and give back. Impact 4 Good is here to help you create summer CSR program that your team will remember!
