Kynd Kits · Corporate Volunteer Programs

Virtual Volunteer Activities for Employees That Feel Nothing Like a Zoom Call

Most virtual volunteering is just another screen. Kynd Kits ship a real, hands-on volunteer project directly to every employee's home — so your remote team builds something meaningful together, at the same time, from anywhere.

Kynd Kits are volunteer projects in a box. Your team orders kits, they ship directly to each employee's door, and on build day your whole distributed team assembles meaningful care packages for people in need — simultaneously, from wherever they are. Every completed kit is donated free through our nonprofit partner network. No travel. No venue. No screen fatigue.

The Real Challenge

Your remote team deserves more than another screen-based activity

Remote and hybrid work has fundamentally changed what employee engagement looks like — and most virtual volunteer programs haven't kept up. The options available today are largely digital: mentoring sessions, letter-writing, data entry for nonprofits, virtual advocacy campaigns. All worthwhile. None of them give a distributed team a shared, physical, purposeful experience they can actually feel together.

According to a 2023 Deloitte survey, 78% of employees are more likely to stay at companies that provide volunteering opportunities — and virtual volunteering significantly increases participation by removing location barriers. But participation alone isn't the goal. Connection is. And connection is hard to manufacture through a screen.

Kynd Kits solve this by doing something no other virtual volunteer program does: shipping a real, hands-on project to every employee's home so your whole team builds something meaningful together — at the same time, regardless of where they're located.

How It Works

The only virtual volunteer activity that ships to your team's front door

1
Order & Setup
Your team orders — or you order for them
Choose from 70+ kit types across causes your employees care about. Set up a custom employee landing page with a discount code, or place a bulk order and ship kits directly yourself. Either way, every employee gets a kit delivered to their home, fully stocked with materials and instructions.
2
Build Day
Schedule your virtual build event
Pick a date and time. Your program manager coordinates a virtual build session — on Zoom, Teams, or whatever platform your team already uses. Employees open their kits at the same time, build together, and share the experience across a shared screen. It's the closest thing to an in-person volunteer day you can run for a fully distributed team. Build events typically run 45–90 minutes.
3
Impact & Tracking
Kits ship to someone in need — and your team can track them
After build day, your program manager coordinates donation of every completed kit to a vetted nonprofit partner. Through Kynd Hub, employees can track exactly where their kit ends up — which organization received it, and who it was designed to help. That traceability is what turns a one-time activity into a story employees actually carry with them.
The Difference

What makes Kynd Kits different from every other virtual volunteer option

Most virtual volunteering is asynchronous, individual, and screen-dependent. Kynd Kits are the exception on every count.

Other Virtual Volunteer Activities
Screen-based only — mentoring, writing, data entry
Asynchronous — employees complete on their own time
No shared physical experience
Hard to turn into a real team moment
Forgettable within a week
Kynd Kits Remote Programs
Physical and hands-on — employees build something with their hands
Synchronous — whole team volunteers at the same time
A shared tactile experience across any distance
Designed to be a genuine team moment, not just a checkbox
Employees track their kit and tell the story for months
501(c)(3) Nonprofit Advantage: Project Helping is a registered nonprofit — your investment supports a genuine charitable mission, volunteer hours may qualify for Dollars-for-Doers, and every kit built reaches real people through vetted nonprofit partners. See our full corporate volunteer programs.
Layered Impact

One kit shipped to one employee's home. Five layers of impact.

1
Your remote employees feel better
Volunteering is clinically proven to reduce stress, improve mood, and increase sense of purpose — even when done from home. Building a Kynd Kit alone at a kitchen table still activates the same mental wellness benefits as an in-person volunteer experience. That's the science behind why this works.
2
Your distributed team connects for real
Building something with your hands — on a shared call, toward a shared goal — creates a different kind of memory than a trivia game or a virtual happy hour. Your remote team gets a genuine, purposeful shared experience that most distributed teams never have.
3
A real person receives something real
The care package, comfort kit, or support item your employee builds at home reaches a real person — someone experiencing homelessness, a teenager in a mental health program, a child in foster care — through a vetted nonprofit partner. Not a digital donation. Something a human being made and cared about.
4
A nonprofit gets what it actually needs
Every Kynd Kit is designed in partnership with the organizations that will receive them, based on their open, current needs. Your program creates genuine utility — not surplus that sits in a warehouse.
5
Your company gets the data to prove it
After every virtual program, you receive a full impact report: volunteer hours, kits built, nonprofit partners served, causes supported. Everything your ESG and CSR reporting requires, delivered without you having to track a thing.
Kit Options

70+ kits. Every cause. Ships anywhere.

Whether your remote team is passionate about mental health, youth education, housing insecurity, environmental causes, or animal welfare — there's a Kynd Kit for it.

Most Popular
Classic Kit
Everything needed to build one meaningful care package for someone in need. Perfect for first-time remote programs and smaller teams who want a focused, personal build experience.

Plus Kit
More materials, a deeper build, greater recipient impact. Best for remote teams that want a richer experience and a longer build session on event day.
Maximum Engagement
Max Kit
Our largest kit — the most materials, the most interaction, and the greatest impact per kit. Best for remote all-hands events where you want maximum engagement from every employee.
Unique Experience

Who It's For

Built for every distributed team format

Fully Remote Teams

Every employee receives a kit at their home address. Schedule a virtual build event and your whole team volunteers together — simultaneously, from wherever they are. Your program manager handles all kit coordination, nonprofit outreach, and post-event impact reporting.

Hybrid Teams

Some employees in the office, some at home? No problem. We ship kits to both locations and coordinate a unified build experience so in-office and remote employees participate together, at the same time, with the same kit.

Multi-Office Teams

Operating in multiple cities or regions? We handle multi-location shipping and coordinate a single synchronized build event across all your locations. Every office, every employee, one shared experience and one unified impact report.

All remote programs include: dedicated program manager · custom employee landing page · branded kit materials · nationwide shipping · nonprofit coordination · post-event impact report · Kynd Hub tracking for every employee

Logistics Made Simple

Everything your team needs, handled for you

Running a remote volunteer program sounds complicated. With Kynd Kits, it isn't. Here's what your dedicated program manager takes care of so you don't have to:

Custom employee landing page with your company branding
Individual kit shipping to every employee's home address
Discount codes for employee self-ordering or bulk order processing
Virtual event scheduling and facilitator guide
Nonprofit coordination for completed kit distribution
Full impact report delivered after the event
From your first form submission to your post-event impact report, the average Kynd Kit remote program is ready in under 3 weeks. Looking for in-person options too? Explore our charitable team building activities.
Make your remote program go even further
Kynd Kit build time typically qualifies for Dollars-for-Doers programs and company Volunteer Time Off (VTO) policies — even for remote employees building from home. That means your team's volunteer hours can generate additional charitable contributions on top of the kit purchase. We provide documentation to support your submission — just ask during your discovery call.

"We worked with Project Helping for our first Virtual Volunteer Day. The team at Project Helping are masters at logistics! They sent out thousands of Kynd Kits to our employees all over the world under a tight deadline, making it look easy (which it was not!). On the day-of, the team facilitated instructional video calls which were incredibly engaging and meaningful. We will definitely use Project Helping again."

FAQ

Common questions about virtual Kynd Kit programs

Your whole team joins a video call on whatever platform you already use — Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet — opens their kits at the same time, and builds together. Your program manager provides a facilitator guide and intro script so whoever is hosting can run a smooth, engaging session. Build events typically run 45–90 minutes depending on kit type.
Hybrid programs are fully supported. We ship kits to both office and home locations and coordinate a unified virtual build event so everyone participates together at the same time, regardless of where they're working that day.
