BUSINESS VOLUNTEER COUNCIL

When local corporations give back to the community, everyone benefits.

Engaging Employees in Service

Through these programs, companies encourage their staff to participate in local community projects. Successful programs:

• help companies develop teamwork and increase their operational effectiveness
• encourage good corporate citizenship
• maximize the company's impact and public image
• foster team spirit and build employee morale
• help create a cohesive society and a healthy business environment

VOLUNTEER SERVICES
All corporations and businesses are eligible for the following services:

Volunteer Match
Receive monthly volunteer listings, find volunteer opportunities for individuals and groups on the Center's website, or work with the Volunteer Services Coordinator for personalized matching through in-person or phone interviews.

Mentor Match
Mentoring can help reduce teen pregnancy, drug use and gang violence and encourage youth to stay in school. This service engages employees as mentors to at-risk youth in the community. Responsibilities and commitment vary by program.

Support Services and Event & Project Planning
The Center offers customized services to build and support employee volunteer programs and assist in planning large-scale days of community service.
