Community Engagement

A strong sense of community promotes generosity among employees, and a stronger sense of unity both inside and outside the office. This year, WorldStrides increased its philanthropic impact with strategic community partners by empowering employees with Volunteer Time Off and donating over $75,000 to 22 different charitable organizations.

Charitable Giving and Employee Matching

As of September 2019, any WorldStrides employee can nominate youth-serving community organizations to receive company donations. In addition, any employee can request to have their personal donations matched by WorldStrides to support education and youth development.
