Corporate Volunteer Council

Employee Volunteers Having an Impact in our Community

Many businesses recognize employee volunteer programs as a way to strengthen their company’s corporate social responsibility. By committing to a program at your own company, you create a way for your employees to make a positive impact in the community. The Volunteer Center is here to help you along the way. 

Through the Corporate Volunteer Council, we will guide you in the process of organizing, managing and evaluating an employee volunteer program for your company.
