Advocate for Animals

We are excited to present you with giveback teambuilding ideas and inspirations from PRA destination experts to showcase the possibilities of ways to support local communities.

In this article, we will share ideas you can incorporate into your programs that focus on the importance of advocating for the wildlife in their destinations.

Teambuilding to Support Animal Welfare

Imagine a day when your team steps away from the daily grind and comes together to make a difference in the world around them. Through volunteering, your group builds stronger bonds and a shared sense of purpose and connects more deeply to the environment and the creatures we share it with. Supporting causes that align with your company’s values can create meaningful opportunities to give back, whether it’s constructing shelters for wildlife, learning about the challenges animals face, or offering help wherever it’s needed most. These efforts don’t just benefit those who need it—they leave a lasting impact on your team.

The World is Your Oyster

Oyster reefs are in trouble, and they need our help. These underwater habitats are vital to marine ecosystems, providing shelter for a diverse array of sea creatures and naturally purifying hundreds of gallons of ocean water each day. Without them, many species lose their homes, and our waters grow murkier. But you can make a difference! Gather your group and bring them out to New York Harbor to join hands-on efforts to restore these critical reefs. From constructing reef structures to setting up shell hatcheries, they'll play an active role in revitalizing these underwater ecosystems. Together, we can help rebuild a healthier ocean and protect marine life for generations to come.

On a Mission to Save the Bees

Why do bees get such a bad rep? These tiny creatures play an essential role in pollination, which is critical to the health of our environment and the survival of countless plant species. Despite their importance, bees are facing alarming threats, and their populations are declining at a dangerous rate. Beyond their environmental contributions, bees also support local communities by producing honey, beeswax for candles, soaps, and other useful products. Give your team the exciting opportunity to actively participate in building a structure designed to house beehives while learning firsthand about the profound impact bees have on our planet. Together, we can take a step toward protecting these incredible insects and ensuring a healthier future for our world.

A Little Birdie Told Me

These birds are tried! After enduring an incredible journey spanning thousands of miles, they’ve reached the end of their migration and are in desperate need of a safe, welcoming spot to call home and lay their eggs. That’s where this teambuilding activity comes in—it gives your group the chance to roll up their sleeves and create birdhouses from scratch. Not only will they get hands-on experience in crafting something meaningful, but they'll also play a vital role in giving these birds a place to rest and raise their young. It’s an engaging way to make a positive impact on nature while fostering teamwork and creativity.

Let Loose the Champion Within

Channel your competitive spirit for a great cause and rally your team to take part in several exciting timed events where each group will choose a team name inspired by a sanctuary animal they’re eager to support. The stakes are high: the winning team will proudly donate to an animal from their local wildlife sanctuary supporting it with their well-earned cash prize. This isn’t just a race—it’s a chance to make a difference for animals in need. So many creatures are waiting to be noticed and cared for, and this fun-filled event allows teams to advocate for animals while bonding and having a blast.
