Dear Lorraine,
I'm writing to thank you for your generous donations of computers... This program would not exist without help from organizations such as yourself.

Business Volunteering


An employee volunteer program is a company-supported effort to leverage organizational resources for and engage employees in projects that target real community needs. Mobilize your business to support volunteer service and civic engagement at NextStep Recycling!

Large or small, your business can benefit from business volunteering at NextStep Recycling. Whether you organize a small group to work for Earth Day or America Recycles Day, take on a project your employees are excited about, or develop an employee volunteer program that allows for employee release time for volunteering, business and volunteering with NextStep go together! We have partnered with a variety of local businesses including, Levi Strauss, Invitrogen, EWEB, Pacific Federal Credit Union, Best Buy, Wal-Mart and more!

Your employees will learn to work together in a new way, find common ground, solve problems together, and take pride in their community involvement.
