Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Aligning your company's philanthropic goals with volunteerism is a great way to build your team, elevate your brand, enhance employee morale and impact your community. In addition to helping you oversee a project, we can match your company with one of our community-based partners, tailoring your project to your specific needs and your volunteers' skills. Team-based projects can be on- or off-site. They can also be a one-time only activity or a project that builds upon each activity for greater community impact.
