Did you know? Volunteering has positive implications that go beyond mental health. Studies show that volunteering helps people who donate their time feel more socially connected, thus warding off loneliness and depression, which contributes to lower blood pressure and a longer life span. Get Involved What’s your passion? We encourage our employees to volunteer their time and support community programs that reflect Renown’s mission, vision and values or connect with those that share your passion. Employee Volunteerism Highlights: • Renown provides full-time employees with 4 hours of paid time per quarter for volunteer activities. • Through the Employee Volunteer Committee’s Sponsorship Program, employees can apply to the committee to request a monetary donation to support your participation in local events. • Dollars for Doers encourages work in the community. If you give 25+ volunteer hours with an eligible not-for- profit, you can apply for a $250 grant. • Employees who serve on a qualified not-for-profit board may request a matching donation from Renown, up to $1,000 annually. For more information on volunteering, please reference the Employee Volunteerism Policy on Inside Renown in the Document Library.
