Corporate-sponsored volunteerism certainly isn’t a new concept. For years now, American Employees have volunteered coordinating food drives, mentoring students, serving on advisory boards and providing support to many community-based projects, often with (or without) the support of their employers. 

Increasingly American companies have begun structured volunteer programs which are integrated into core business strategies.  These programs are designed to help the communities they serve.  Additionally, they’re now also being used to help employees develop greater understanding, sensitivity and involvement in their communities.  

Here at AMTdirect our Employees with Management’s support have been involved in several community-based projects.

• A family of four who recently lost all their belongings received $350.00 in cash, a number of store gift cards and several large boxes filled with food items, household goods, etc.
• An Employee indicated a need for items to supply two children who she was fostering with clothes, diapers, toys, etc.  It was a departmental request, which was met with over-whelming Employee/AMTdirect response!  Cash, store gift-cards, food items, toys…and the list went on and on….
• Involvement Big Brothers/Big Sisters school based mentoring program is also underway.  Employees are permitted to get paid for time away from their normal work schedule to mentor a student from a local elementary school.

Besides being the “right” thing to do, this community involvement also support’s AMTdirect’s corporate values of collaboration, interdependence, accountability and stewardship.
