Community engagement.

Choose Your Own Community Adventure (CYOCA) is Vynamic’s spotlight program that allows team members to come together to support charities and causes that inspire our global team. For the first time since 2019, team members were able to safely gather for in person events this summer to support amazing nonprofits across the US and London. Vynamic strives to continuously learn about new opportunities that expose us to new ways of doing better, which will create a lasting impact in the communities we call home.

Every summer Vynamic gives back to the communities in which we live and work through our spotlight program, Choose Your Own Community Adventure (CYOCA). While we couldn’t be there to lend our support in person this summer, Vynamic donated to over 115 charities and causes currently inspiring our global team. This year we celebrate organizations already near and dear to Vynamic, and new organizations exposing us to better ways and creating lasting impact in the communities we call home.

Each summer the Vynamic team looks forward to supporting charities in the communities in which we live and work through volunteering and monetary donations. While we couldn’t be there to lend our support in person this summer, Vynamic donated to the 55 charities currently inspiring our global team. This year we celebrate organizations already near and dear to Vynamic, and new organizations exposing us to better ways and creating lasting impact in the communities we call home.

For their first ever “Choose Your Own Community Adventure”, the London team volunteered with Thrive, a charity that uses gardening to bring about positive changes in the lives of people living with disabilities or ill health, or who are isolated, disadvantaged, or vulnerable. By helping in the Old English Garden at Battersea Park the team gained great insight into social and therapeutic horticulture while positively impacting their community.

Vynamic Philadelphia was proud to partner with Children’s Village for a 5th CYOCA event with this impactful organization. On that day, students from Children’s Village received a tour of the Vynamic offices and were then paired up with Vynamic Volunteers for a minute to win it challenge. Students learned teamwork, bracket style tournaments, learning (and challenging) game rules, and friendly competition.

The Philadelphia team partnered with Our Closet for a rewarding CYOCA event. Our Closet collects clothing donations and creates pop up shops where community members can shop for clothing and accessories for free. In addition to setting up, “selling”, and cleaning up, the team met some amazing folks who were able to walk out with interview clothes, work bags, and new sneakers.

Vynamic team members donated their time at AI duPont Children’s Hospital, one of the safest children’s hospitals in the country, with some of the best doctors, nurses, and pediatric specialty care available. While there the team toured the new Kids Clubhouse and donated new board games, slime-making kits, and puzzles for the kids to play with.

The Boston team came together to host a craft party for our first ever Choose Your Own Community Adventure (CYOCA) event benefitting Franciscan Children’s Hospital. The opportunity to spend time with the incredible staff and fiercely brave patients at Franciscan’s was deeply inspiring.

This year our Boston team had the opportunity to return to Career Collaborative for not only one but two CYOCA events, helping this organization achieve its mission of teaching unemployed and underemployed adults with low-income jobs how to build careers that change their lives and strengthen their families.

This summer’s CYOCA (Choose Your Own Community Adventure) program kicked off with an energizing event with Girl’s Inc. Vynamic hosted our second-ever Consulting Career Exploration workshop at our Philadelphia office, where close to 30 girls ages 10-15 had a chance to learn more about consulting, present their ideas, and choose their own Vynamic color with the help of 21 Vynamic team members.

For the second year in a row, the pet-loving community at Vynamic spread the love at Penn Vet Working Dog Center, a national research and development center for detection dogs, to learn about the amazing work their trainers and dogs do and help with various projects at the center.

This year, Vynamic’s annual Cradles to Crayons “Choose Your Own Community Adventure” team helped Philadelphia-area children living in poverty by volunteering at their Giving Factory and making cards to be included in backpacks distributed at their annual Backpack-A-Thon at Lincoln Financial Field. As always, Vynamic was well represented with smiles and helping hands for such a great cause.
