Helping Companies Help Others

Colleague Development Day

Your Corporate Connection to the Community

The concept of corporate social responsibility is the core of The Volunteer Center's business-focused initiatives. Volunteerism is the easiest and most effective way to show that your company cares about the community. Corporate volunteerism strengthens a company's corporate culture, providing a means for employees to build strong connections to each other and the community. It increases your company's recognition and reputation as a socially-conscious business. As the experts in volunteerism for over 50 years, The Volunteer Center of the Virginia Peninsula is the logical choice to enhance your company's efforts and image in the community.

1st Advantage Federal Credit Union has all their employees particpate in a day of service annually.  Known in 2009 as 1st A.I.D.E. Day, staff volunteered at a number of sites in our community.  Click on the Photo Gallery below to view activities for the past two years.
