CareCorps Volunteers
A heritage of caring at Scientific Atlanta has laid a
solid foundation for our CareCorps program today. Rooted in
a variety of volunteer and giving programs that are an
important part of our past, CareCorps projects offer
employees convenient and consistent opportunities that have
an impact on the community.
By giving of their time, talent and treasure,
Scientific Atlanta employees help make a better place to
live, work and play. In 2005, CareCorps volunteers
contributed in a variety of ways. Some of our most memorable
projects included the following:
- Partnering with Junior Achievement where volunteers
shared real-world experience by teaching and mentoring
elementary students on a variety of subjects.
-
Participating in a wide range of fundraising events
where raising money also raised community awareness of
critical health and human services issues and provided
relief to global natural disasters. In 2005, employee
contributions worldwide exceeded $500,000 in campaigns
for the American Cancer Society, Juvenile Diabetes
Research Foundation, United Way as well as Gulf Coast
and Tsunami Relief Efforts.
-
Supporting high school students in the FIRST Robotics
Competition providing valuable mentoring time to students
and real-life experience in the fields of science, math
and engineering.
- Partnering with Habitat for Humanity and allowing
volunteers to raise low-income families’ self esteem by
making the seemingly unreachable goal of home ownership a
reality.
