“Our giving programs like Schwab Volunteer Week underscore the importance of service at Schwab – not only for our clients but also for our communities,” said Rick Wurster, President of The Charles Schwab Corporation and President and Chair of Charles Schwab Foundation. “Schwab has always been committed to giving back by investing our time, talent and financial resources into strengthening and empowering our local communities.”

Schwab Volunteer Week was designed to make it easy and flexible for employees to participate, offering on-campus, off-site, in-person and virtual volunteer projects. A national network of nearly 200 Schwab community ambassadors played an integral role in creating projects that address local community needs and align to causes employees care about. Employees can choose from nearly 700 service projects, including:

• On-campus drop-in projects at all major employment centers to create care packages for children in the foster care system and “thank you for your service” kits for military members and first responders;
• Activities that support food security through preparing and serving meals, sorting and distributing food donations, and packaging nutritious meals;
• Community beautification, maintenance and clean-up projects that promote environmental stewardship and sustainability;
• As well as a variety of other projects in support of disaster relief preparation, youth education, clothing donations, and animal well-being.
