Why get coached by our volunteer experts?
Skills volunteering: This is when a volunteer professional offers his/her time and expertise by sharing professional and personal skills with a non-profit organization.
To find answers
To further development
To increase your organization’s impact
To ensure its sustainability
Our experts help you overcome internal challenges.
With the support of our pro bono experts, you will integrate new skills into your organization and develop tailor-made solutions.
ToolBox can assist you with the biggest challenges that organisations face today:
Our tailor-made support
ToolBox and its volunteer experts - the ToolBoxers - provide tailor-made support and multiple intervention formats for an effective response to diverse organisational challenges:
Travel
A duo of ToolBoxers provides guidance to organizations wishing to work on one or more questions in monthly 4-hour workshops programmed over a period of 12 to 18 months. This support is scalable, with the possibility of integrating new questions and/or bringing in new ToolBoxers, depending on the skills required.
Sprint
Support by 1 or 2 ToolBoxers, depending on the skills needed, to help the organization find answers to a more specific question, over a shorter period of 6 to 12 months.
Social challenge
A team of 5 ToolBoxers is committed to assist the organization in a precisely defined challenge in monthly 4-hour workshops programmed over a period of 4 months.
Hackathon
A team of 8 to 15 ToolBoxers devotes a whole day to developing ways to solve a problem identified by the organization.
Booster
1 or 2 ToolBoxers address a specific question asked by an organization during a 2-hour session.
Toolbox hub
Group workshops and meetings allow you to continue developing your knowledge through our member network of organizations, ToolBoxers and partners.
