Make a positive impact on the Durham community while getting to know your fellow Fuqua employees!
The purpose of the Fuqua Week of Service initiative is to facilitate volunteer opportunities that allow staff to have a tangible, positive impact on the Durham community. These activities are also great team-building exercises for employees that help increase our school’s sense of community. And of course they’re fun and rewarding!
Service Week gives Fuqua staff and faculty the chance to connect meaningfully with our Durham community.
“…it was honest, immediate, and deeply human work. I appreciated the chance to interact directly with individuals and families, to hear their stories, to help them find something they needed, whether it was a bag of potatoes, a birthday cake, or just a bit of kindness.”
– Lizzie Pogoloff reflecting on a Salvation Army Food Pantry Project
All employees are encouraged to participate and will need their manager’s approval. Each employee has the option to sign up for one volunteer opportunity, which are generally three to four hours in length. Most, if not all of this time occurs during working hours and is considered an employee team-building activity.
