CORPORATE VOLUNTEERS
Carter Burden Network offers a wide variety of opportunities to meet your organization's interests. Opportunities can range from a one-time service day to a long-term volunteer commitment, as well as a customized corporate "Service Day" with multiple coordinated volunteer activities tailored to your company's preferences, either weekdays or weekends.
Volunteering contributes to the strengthening of the organization's corporate culture and also benefits the community. It improves job satisfaction, encourages teamwork, promotes leadership and develops employees' skills—all while helping to boost the company's corporate social responsibility's public profile. Some corporations that volunteer with the Carter Burden Network include: Colgate-Palmolive, Macquarie, ABC Disney, Bank of America, Hogan Lovell's, Macy's, Google, Trish McEvoy Cosmetics, Guggenheim Partners, OnDeck and Invesco, etc.
