Where Good Deeds Meet Smart Business

"The real benefit of corporate volunteerism is not only the moral good being done for recipients, but the bonding between employer and employee. Employees sense that this is a good place to work. It has values beyond productivity and profit." - Jack Regan, Wilmerhale

We know that volunteerism needs to provide more than just “feel-good” value to your business. The story you and others are able to tell about your corporate citizenship is more important than ever—to your reputation and brand, to existing and future clients and employees, and, ultimately, to your bottom line.

Our data shows that engagement with Citizen Schools positively impacts corporate culture, employees’ professional development, and the communities in which our partners do business.

  • 88% report improved communication skills.
  • 91% connect their volunteerism to their employer’s broader positive impact on the community.
  • 79% feel that teaching positively supplements their workday.

Citizen Schools’ corporate volunteers get noticed. Our partnerships have been featured in The New York Times, the Boston Globe, The Washington Post, Business Week, The Huffington Post, The San Francisco Chronicle, and more.
