Top businesses succeed not just by practicing good business but also by being good corporate citizens. Workplace volunteering - a planned, managed effort that seeks to motivate and enable employees to effectively volunteer under the sponsorship and leadership of the employer - has become a critical element of the strategic plans of many businesses.
Days of Caring
As part of a year round volunteer engagement plan RUW coordinates special one day volunteer mobilization events, targeting volunteers from the local business community. Volunteers are matched with non-profit organizations, social services and schools to complete vital projects in the community.
A committee of local business, nonprofit, school and governmental representatives meets annually to plan each Day of Caring.
