Community Services and C.O.R.E. (Career Opportunities Through Resources and Education) Team
The Community Services team selects not-for-profit organizations within our local community to be the beneficiaries of our fundraising efforts. The team plans events and fundraisers on behalf of these worthy organizations. The beneficiaries of our fundraisers have been the Urban Debate League, City Harvest, Volunteers of America, Dress for Success, to name a few.
All of our efforts are assisted and supported by our Chapter members, Business Partners, families and friends. We continue to encourage everyone’s support and invite you to join the team to volunteer your services, recommend charities or to donate raffle prizes.
Our C.O.R.E. pipeline initiative focuses on creating and conducting workplace success training programs for students in NYC Schools.
