Volunteering

Pretending to Be Linzy for a Day

Yesterday was our semi-annual company wide volunteer day.  In reality our company offers opportunities to do something almost weekly, but twice a year there's a big push to get the entire company out of the office and onto the streets of Boston.  

Our department has been trying harder recently to make sure we're a part of these days, and I think it's really awesome.  besides the fact that it gives us a chance to help our community, it also gets us out of the office, talking to each other, and bonding.  Totally worth it. 

Volunteer Day

There are a lot of things I love about my job.  I love the work that I do, I love the people I work with, and I love the feeling that my company cares about me and my happiness at work.

But one of the things that I love the most, is the commitment to volunteering that my company fosters.  There are opportunities all year long, for both individuals and teams, and most of them build around a bunch of schools we partner with.  Past opportunities I've taken advantage of have included collecting backpacks and school supplies for students, fulfilling Christmas wishes, being a pen pal to a student throughout the year, and working at the annual book fair.
