Apple has informed employees today that is launching a new volunteer program today that will push employees to assist their local communities. The program is called the “Apple Global Volunteer Program,” and it is soon launching in the United States, Sydney, Australia, and Cork, Ireland before a larger rollout across the world. The program is said to be available for both retail and corporate employees.
Here’s Apple’s memo to employees:
The program will assist employees in organizing and championing charities and events in their local communities. The program will also be a continuation of the long-running Apple employee donation matching program as Apple will match donations made via this new Global Volunteer Program as well. Apple has also informed employees that over $78 million has been raised by the pre-existing charitable donation matching program.
