Vol. 35 // JUNE NEWSLETTER

It's a big month for volunteering and engagement. Pride, World Environment Day, Juneteenth, and World Refugee Day are all likely top of mind for your highly engaged volunteers! But at WeHero, we're just like Marty Mcfly in Back To The Future 2... we're looking into the future to make sure you're prepared for what's to come including World Humanitarian Day and Women's Equality Day. So hop on into our WeHero Delorian folks and let's look into the future of corporate volunteering!

What do we have in store for you today? Fun facts, a new WeHero 100, upcoming webinars, and dates you should definitely be paying attention to.

Let's dive in

1 // Fun fact of the month

Our team was recently at Engage For Good and learned that if 75% of people in North America did their laundry in cold water, it would reduce 27 million metric tons of GHG emission for the decade and save enough energy to power NYC and San Francisco for an entire year! Will WeHero have an event focused on washing machines soon?

A massive shout out to P&G for their efforts to make washing on cold more commonplace among consumers!

2 // WeHero is on tour and continuing to speak on industry webinars and events

Our goal is to share the latest trends when it comes to corporate volunteering and employee engagement. WeHero will be speaking at the following:
