Volunteer Opportunities for Corporate Groups

Are you looking for a team building experience for your corporate group? Corporate volunteer programs allow businesses to foster a more personal link to the community by sharing their greatest asset—their people—in making a difference. Lyngblomsten staff plan and execute events that provide a meaningful experience for corporate volunteer groups, while at the same time are fun and engaging for residents and tenants as well.
