LinkedIn has introduced a 'volunteering & causes' field for profiles to highlight social impact as part of professional identity. This feature allows members to showcase their volunteer experiences and support for organizations, enhancing both personal and organizational branding. Additionally, users can indicate interest in serving on nonprofit boards or engaging in skill-based volunteering, connecting them with relevant opportunities.

1. Volunteer Experience and Causes Field
Add the Volunteering & Causes Field to your profile: On LinkedIn, we view your
social impact as part of your professional identity. This profile page field allows you to
express the causes you care about, the organizations you support and your volunteer
experience. It not only helps you strengthen your professional brand, it is also an
endorsement of the organization – helping strengthen its brand and grow its community.
Signal your pro bono and board service interests: We recently added the ability for
our members to "signal" to their professional network that they are interested in serving
on a nonprofit Board or doing skill based volunteering. With these additions, we help
connect our members with opportunities to use their skills to make a positive impact.
