Corporate Volunteering: Great for business and great for students
February 13, 2014
At the start of the 2013 school year, 成人快播 opened its doors to a new reading center at Carthay Elementary School. Usually opening a new reading center can be a bit stressful, scrambling to find enough volunteers for the students in need of tutoring, but at Carthay it was a different story. From day one volunteers were already lined up and ready to tutor.
Surprisingly, 成人快播鈥 pathway to opening a reading center at Carthay started with a request from the folks at City National Bank, a corporate partner and 成人快播 sponsor.
At the time, City National was already involved with reading and homework programs at Carthay and 成人快播 had been established in ten Los Angeles area schools. When City National began to look for a program that offered measurable results for the students they were serving they thought 成人快播 would be the perfect fit.
According to Min Yoo, Community Relations Specialist at City National Bank, 鈥淲e knew 成人快播 was doing great work in our community and [we were] especially impressed with the measurement component of [成人快播].鈥
Corporate Volunteerism
In addition to helping finance the 成人快播鈥 program at Carthay, City National also provides volunteers through their corporate volunteer programs. City National鈥檚 program, awards employees three hours each month designated for literacy-related volunteering and an additional 3 hours for financial-literacy related volunteering.
Currently, eight City National employees are volunteering at Carthay Elementary. These volunteers have been a vital resource to students in need of additional literacy support and to 成人快播 in building a strong program in the inaugural year at Carthay.
Partnering for Success
In this partnership, the benefits are mutual. City National鈥檚 corporate volunteer program provides the volunteer tutors students need to become successful readers. At the same time, City National Bank鈥檚 philanthropic ideologies also support long-term growth in the community, and enhance workplace culture, comradery, and happiness.
When asked why City National Bank donates employee time to volunteer, Yoo responded:
鈥淐ontributing to the economic and cultural vitality of our communities not only has a positive, measurable impact on the growth and prosperity of those communities, but it makes good business sense for the Bank.鈥
