BUSINESSES ARE PART OF THE COMMUNITY YOUNG PEOPLE LEARN FROM
Ways your company can participate
Your company can offer expertise, practical help, a place to learn or support that makes a program possible.
FFI has worked with large companies and local businesses, including Liberty Mutual and Cranney Companies. The starting point is what your people can contribute and what would be useful to the participants and communities involved.
Bring us your interests, resources and goals. We can shape a partnership around them.
LET YOUNG PEOPLE SEE WHAT YOUR PEOPLE KNOW
Employee involvement
A chef can introduce a group to cooking. A financial professional can help young people explore money decisions. Tradespeople and technology teams can show what their work involves.
Other opportunities include workplace visits, helping participants practise public speaking or working alongside a youth team on a community project.
The activity is planned with FFI so it fits the participants, learning goals and people involved.
Discuss sharing your expertise
EMPLOYEES WORKING TOGETHER
Group service projects
Corporate volunteer days have helped prepare FFI’s garden, care for the Durham campus and make donated spaces useful.
Past examples include People’s United Bank helping prepare the garden, Irving Oil contributing to spring clean-up and Cambridge Trust helping clear a donated property.
