City Year Cleveland provides a range of 2008-2009 events for individual and corporate volunteers. These events are designed to help enhance and manage employee volunteer programs and overall corporate citizenship. City Year Cleveland corporate service initiatives include:
CORPORATE SERVICE DAYS
City Year Cleveland plans service days like nobody else. We can help your employees tap into City Year’s idealism by having employees transform public spaces while building camaraderie. All projects are planned, organized, and prepared by City Year Cleveland corps members per the basic requirements set forth by the participating business/organization. All you and your employees need to do is show up, ready to make a difference.
Contact Rosaland Phillips, Service Leader, Civic Engagement, to have City Year Cleveland organize a service day for your company.
