Week 4: Being Positive About Community!

Week Four - Being Positive About Community!

Social responsibility is the focus for Week Four. Support corporate social responsibility; sponsor a day at Habitat for Humanity; promote the concept of volunteerism as a business learning opportunity (volunteer for a board of a community association, not for profit entity, food bank, etc.). There are many activities your organization can take part in: food bank drives; blood donation drive; sponsorship of a little league team; leaf raking for seniors; signing organ donation cards; United Way initiatives or hundreds of other activities. It's a great way for individuals and organizations to give back to the community!

Organize Group Activities for a department, division or for your entire organization! Display posters and send reminders to promote it to your colleagues. The more that join in, the more your organization can earn! Learn more about earning points.
