Custom Projects

Looking to make a lasting difference through a hands-on team experience? Our custom-designed projects offer the opportunity to engage in meaningful, often transformational work that directly benefits local nonprofits or community members in need.

Whether it’s landscaping an early learning center, painting a community room, remodeling a nonprofit break area, or installing a Born Learning Trail, we’ll handle everything—from project design and planning to materials, logistics, and on-site coordination.

Why go custom? These immersive experiences offer more than just service—they foster team connection, community visibility, and real change where it matters most.

·         Pricing: $75 per volunteer + supply costs over $350, $500 minimum

·         General Budget Range: $1,000–$5,000 (depending on scope and materials)

Custom Projects: Step by Step

1.     Start Here: Head to our Custom Project Request Form and fill out the short interest questionnaire to help us understand your goals, group size, timeline, and areas of interest.

2.     Personalized Follow-Up: A Volunteer and Community Engagement (VCE) team member will reach out within 3 business days to learn more and begin building your experience.

3.     Project Options Delivered: Within 2 weeks, we’ll share curated project options based on your preferences. For larger groups (20+), sourcing and confirmation may take longer as we work closely with partners to ensure capacity and impact.

4.     Site Visit & Confirmation: Once a project is selected and the budget approved, we’ll coordinate a site visit to help your team visualize the scope, prepare for the day, and address any planning needs.

5.     Full-Service Planning & Execution: We’ll manage every detail—from material purchases and volunteer coordination to setup, logistics, impact framing, and optional extras like nonprofit tours or meals.

6.     Lead Time & Capacity: Custom projects require at least 6–8 weeks of lead time. We can accommodate one custom project per month to ensure every experience receives dedicated care and attention, so please start your planning early!

7.     Agreements & Payment

  • Projects over $1,000 require a signed memorandum of understanding (MOU).
  • Full payment is due 4 weeks before the event.
  • A 25% deposit is nonrefundable, as materials and planning begin early.
  • If canceled 2–4 weeks out (and not rescheduled), a 75% refund of per-person costs will be issued; supply costs are nonrefundable.
  • If canceled within 2 weeks, we’ll work with you to reschedule if possible. Otherwise, refunds are limited due to committed resources




These opportunities come with a budget not to restrict service, but to expand it—helping us build capacity for partners and lasting community impact.

Your investment helps us:

·         Design turnkey, meaningful volunteer experiences aligned with your company’s values

·         Expand our support for nonprofit partners, especially those with limited capacity

·         Uplift individuals and families through our core focus areas: healthy communities, financial security, and youth opportunity

When you take part in a Custom Project experience, you’re not just empowering your team to make a difference—you’re helping expand access to volunteerism and driving long-term community impact through collective action.
