Abstract
Skills-based volunteering programs sit at the intersection of corporate philanthropy and human
resources (HR). These programs enable employees to volunteer their specialized skills to support
non-profit organizations, while developing new skills along the way. While these programs are
the fastest growing way that firms deliver on their corporate social responsibility strategy, the
academic literature has all but ignored them. However, there is ample opportunity to build an
understanding of skills-based volunteering from existing research that crosses the realms of
employee volunteering and skills. This systematic literature review of 36 peer-reviewed articles
forms the basis of this paper, where we provide a definition of skills-based volunteering, and offer
a theoretical model to guide future HR research and practice on skills-based volunteering.
