A simple act of kindness is all that we need to spread hope, smiles and happiness; At the Tata group, our volunteers do much more than that. With the Tata Volunteering Week (TVW), we amplify the spirit of giving, where Tata employees, current and retired, as well as their family members come together to engage with communities by contributing to causes close to their heart. These group volunteering activities impact the community at large and bring out the most genuine smiles, while at the same time providing an opportunity to volunteers to share joy.

Launching on the birth anniversary of our founder, Jamsetji Tata, Tata Volunteering Week 17 (TVW17) invites all of you to be ‘Super-spreader of Smiles’. From 3^rd to 31^st March 2022, TVW17 will offer exciting, company organized virtual and on-ground volunteering opportunities. Join the volunteering tribe to bring smiles, transform lives and spark hope.

“Great, when did the Tata group start Tata Volunteering Week?”
Tata Volunteering Week, the event-based volunteering format of Tata Engage was launched on 3^rd March 2014 to commemorate the 175^th birth anniversary of our founder, Jamsetji Tata.

“I’m intrigued. What’s new this edition?”
TVW 17 brings a host of new and unique activities for Tata employees, current and retired as well as their families. This TVW will acknowledge and celebrate the smiles that volunteers spread among communities as well as in their own lives. The theme will focus on being a ‘Super-spreader of Smiles’ during these difficult times, especially now, when the world is gradually returning towards normalcy.

This edition will offer a wide range of company-organized virtual and on-ground opportunities which will allow volunteers to pick activities based on their comfort and other preferences leading to better outcomes and positive impact.

Additionally, the Tata Engage Volunteering App will empower each volunteer to choose causes and NGOs to support, create their own volunteering activities, seek volunteers and participate in any Tata company curated activity.

“Yes, count me in! But where do I start?”
