The Points of Light Foundation research studies have shown conclusively how the business community benefits when it becomes involved with volunteerism.

Key findings report that:

      • Corporations and business increasingly understand the need to stay involved
         with their communities.

      • Employee volunteerism leads to improved company public image.

      • Volunteerism builds employee teamwork and employee morale.

      • Volunteering in the workplace impacts employee retention, and
         due to the positive feedback within the community, volunteering
         actually helps attract better employees.

      • Volunteering provides a way to implement corporate strategic and business goals.

Step Up! recognizes that corporations and businesses remain primary volunteer advocates and provide an ever-growing volunteer force in our community. We work closely with these groups and with local agencies to match the group to an existing need or we help develop projects that will meet the needs of both the company and the agency. We also provide local corporations with a quarterly newsletter and updated volunteer opportunity listings monthly.
