Current volunteering projects
Future Skills for Children
With our donation, we support digital education for children – practical, inspiring, and forward-looking.
Encouraging young people to actively shape the digital world through accessible programming courses – that is the vision of the Hacker School. We support them both financially and with the combined expertise of 20 volunteers from our Product & Innovation department, who bring programming to life for children.
Children discover the world of programming - supported by Hays volunteers.
myAbility
The social enterprise advises companies on inclusion and helps students with disabilities to start their careers. We support myAbility with mentoring and coaching.
In Germany, only 57 per cent of all people with disabilities are integrated into the primary labour market. A good reason for us to get involved with the social enterprise myAbility as part of our corporate volunteer programme. We offer people with disabilities mentoring, CV training and job application coaching to help them overcome obstacles on their way into the world of work.
Creating career prospects – inclusive and committed
Queermentor
Queermentor is the first digital platform for training, empowerment, and networking of the LGBTIQ+ community. We support the initiative with mentoring and financial donations.
The queer community still faces many hurdles in the working world. Together with Queermentor, we have therefore been using our expertise since 2023 to open up a safe space for young LGBTIQ+ people in the form of 1:1 mentoring. Here, we offer professional orientation, empowerment, and career support from career entry to current job challenges to the development of further career steps.
We empower queer talent with one-on-one mentoring and career guidance.
Joblinge
The JOBLINGE initiative helps unemployed young people to start a career. As a partner organisation, we get involved with mentoring, training and financial donations.
Since 2022, we have been a partner of JOBLINGE, which accompanies unemployed young people on their way into the working world in various formats. In regular volunteering assignments, Hays employees support participants through mentoring, interview training and CV checks. We also help the JOBLINGE organisation itself as a sparring partner in business matters. The „Plan A“ project received financial support at Christmas 2021.
Career start-up assistance for young people with fewer opportunities
Help for Ukraine
With donations in kind, money and time, we provide fast and unbureaucratic help for people in need as a result of the Ukraine war.
Generous donations went to "Germany helps" and our global Hays-Ukraine-Fund. This enabled us to realise projects in Poland and Hungary - for example, the establishment of a school for 280 Ukrainian pupils and their teachers in Warsaw. Our employees spent over 300 hours collecting donations in kind, helping out in initial accommodation - and contributing their knowledge to make it easier for refugees to start their careers in Germany.

Pro Bono Camp
At the Haus des Stiftens Pro Bono Camp, Hays employees donate their expertise to support the charitable work of non-profit organisations.
How do I recruit through social channels? Am I reaching my target groups with my website? Questions like these are the focus of the coaching sessions and seminars at Pro-Bono-Camp once a year, in which volunteers from a wide range of companies pass on their know-how to employees in non-profit organisations. Since the beginning in 2021, more than 100 Hays employees have already contributed effectively.
