Taskrabbit

At Taskrabbit, we celebrate Pride not just in June, but all year round by remembering how far the LGBTQIA+ community has come and the work still left to be done. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Our internal cultural affinity group, Queer at TR, has created a month of programming, including a volunteer opportunity in NYC and drag bingo with Marti Gould Cummings. Special thank you to Ashlee Jones (Senior Partner Manager) and Fred Braunstein (Senior Counsel) for planning these events! ❤️ Learn all about Pride and how you can support. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/e3-fSUqv

Excited to share that expecting parents can now ask for the thing they need most: help. Through our partnership with Joy, parents-to-be can now add Taskrabbit gift cards to their registry and hire a Tasker to set up any nursery furniture or help babyproof their home. ❤️

Last week, we celebrated the graduates of our sixth annual Taskrabbit YOUniversity class! Say hello to the Class of 2024! This group of 24 incredible individuals spent the past three months diving deeper into who they are, where they want to go in their careers, and how to give and receive feedback along the way. We are proud of all the Taskrabbit employees who have embarked on this journey and grateful for the incredible team that has run this internal Learning and Development Program for the past six years! 

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our first Taskrabbit For Good partnership in Paris with Samusocial de Paris, a non-profit organization supported by the French government that is dedicated to helping individuals reintegrate into the workforce. 🇫🇷 Sebastian, a highly skilled Tasker from Paris with extensive construction experience, will be leading this initiative. Twice a month, Sebastian will volunteer his time to teach essential handyman skills on various projects. This collaboration aims to empower individuals with valuable skills for their professional growth and future opportunities. Together, we’re making a difference! ❤️

We are embracing and celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander heritage this month and always. During this month, Taskrabbit employees will learn about the history, contributions, and accomplishments of Asians, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders, and we invite you to join us in this exploration. Thanks to our internal cultural affinity groups API of Taskrabbit and South Asians of Taskrabbit, we have planned an entire month of learning and celebrations. Dive into meaningful ways to honor and recognize AANHPI culture and heritage from the comfort of your home and within your local community. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/daYj_SVS

Small businesses across the country utilize Taskers to help in many ways. In honor of Small Business Week, RIND Snacks shared how they’ve been using Taskrabbit not only to free up time and energy to run their business smoothly, but also to expand geographical reach without needing expensive travel budgets. Hiring Taskers across the U.S. has helped their team streamline business and do what they do best: create delicious and healthy snacks. Read all about it! ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/edBGtECN

Volunteering is a core part of our culture at Taskrabbit. Last Friday, April 19th, marked our second official Volunteer Day! Taskrabbit employees in Austin, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London, and Chicago gathered to utilize their Volunteer Time Off and contribute to their local communities by volunteering at Habitat for Humanity Affiliates. Big thanks to all of the Taskrabbit employees who helped organize these events—we can't wait for our next Volunteer Day!

Taskrabbit for Good (TR4G) has been busy the past few months, sponsoring furniture assembly services for several non-profits in partnership with IKEA stores. In Marble Falls, Texas TR4G sponsored Tasker Joseph O. to assemble IKEA-donated furniture for Candlelight Ranch. This incredible organization offers science and nature-based curricula to 35+ non-profit youth-serving organizations and schools. The children served include those with physical challenges, emotional and behavioral challenges, economically disadvantaged, intellectually delayed, and developmentally delayed. Thank you to IKEA Round Rock and Joseph O.! In Brooklyn, TR4G sponsored Taskers Maxim S. and Aleksandr O. to assemble IKEA-donated furniture for the youth activity room at the Red Hook Recreation Center. The Center provides a safe space for youth to call a home away from home. The newly remodeled youth activity room is now a hub for afterschool studying, crafting, and cooking classes. Thank you to IKEA Brooklyn and Taskers Maxim and Aleksandr! In St. Paul, Minnesota, TR4G sponsored Taskers Dan W., Kachi A., Detwon W., and Ugo E. to assemble IKEA-donated furniture for STAR House (Strength, Time and Resilience), a crisis nursery that provides a temporary home away from home for children and supportive services to uplift and strengthen the entire family. Children from birth to 7 years old can stay for up to 72 hours at a time, and parents receive resources and support. Thank you to IKEA Minneapolis and the four fabulous Taskers who made this project possible!
