OUR BIG HAIRY AUDICIOUS GOAL

We want to make Social Friday a global movement and turn unproductive Fridays into activites that bring positive change around the world.

May 29th is just a first of what we hope will be many future Social Fridays.

THE BIRTH OF SOCIAL FRIDAY

Fact: Friday is the least productive day of the week*

One day, we thought: What if we used those wasted Friday office hours to do something good for the community? 🤔

A few months later, the first Social Friday was born. Social Friday was our ritual to get out of the office early on Fridays and volunteer for a local social cause.

After some time, we started to wonder: Why don’t we get others to do this too?

That’s when we decided to make Social Friday a global event and set out on a mission to invite companies (and universities) from around the world to join us on May 29th to volunteer in their respective communities.

FAQs

How can I join the May 29th Social Friday event? +

It’s a common misconception that you sign up to “join an event”. You don’t join an event; instead, you become an event host. And by doing so you join a community of other hosts, all taking action on the same date - each hosting an activity in their respective communities. Thus, every company and organization that is interested in being a part of this global event, must fill out the host form below.

Who can host a Social Friday?+

Companies, organizations or public institutions (of all sizes) can organize a Social Friday activity. All interested, must fill out our ✍️ registration form below and enroll to become a host. We will contact you with further details via email.

Are there application or membership fees?+

🙅‍♂‍ No! There are no application fees or ongoing membership fees. The costs of your own Social Friday will vary based on your activity. From our past experience, you shouldn’t have to spend a lot of resources to host an activity. If cost is a major factor for your team, try to think of inexpensive ways you can volunteer. If you need help getting started, please reach out to us and someone from our team will assist you.

What is expected from a host?+

✅ You must start the activity before 3 p.m. on Friday, May 29, 2020 - the main idea is that we turn those unproductive Friday hours into social good.
✅ Let the employees engage in the activity during paid hours (no overtime)
✅ Try to involve the senior management as participants

Who is Social Friday associated with?+

We are totally independent. Not in any way are we associated with a religious or political group.
