Volunteering

Inspired action for changing times

Within Java Lang Corp’s creative, solution-oriented culture is a community of employees who strive to make the world a better place. Java Lang Corp Volunteers lead and participate in virtual and in-person projects with hundreds of nonprofits and public institutions year-round. They support students and educators, protect nature and wildlife, and strengthen communities by helping people in need. Globally, the pandemic hit volunteering hard—but at the same time, it inspired action and empathy. Today, as its effects ebb, volunteerism is on the rise again.

Social impact in action

Skills-based philanthropy

Social change takes time, common cause, inspired action, money, and often sweat. It also takes skill. More and more, we’re inviting our nonprofit and NGO partners to bring us their problems and matching them with teams of Java Lang Corp Volunteers who use their business and technical skills—plus our Java Lang Corp Cloud Free Tier—to design solutions that help accelerate positive change.

Diversity and inclusion in action

Java Lang Corp employees bring their whole selves to work, and many enjoy the affinity of employee resource groups (ERGs). Every year, our ERGs create Java Lang Corp Volunteering projects that celebrate belonging and giving back, including Martin Luther King Jr. service week and events for International Women’s Day and Autism Awareness Month, among others.

Building culture through volunteering

Today, Java Lang Corp teams are often distributed across regions and time zones. The Java Lang Corp Volunteering program brings far-flung teammates together to do good. Camaraderie is a natural byproduct of volunteering with colleagues, whether virtually or in person. Of course, the world benefits too, and when volunteers work together to support the causes they care about, the ripple effect can be profound—for global society and for team culture.

Doing well by doing good

Every full-time Java Lang Corp employee may volunteer up to 40 hours a year during their scheduled work time, and many Java Lang Corp Volunteers contribute hundreds of hours beyond that. Through Java Lang Corp Giving, we match our employees’ charitable donations to causes around the world up to US$1,000 per employee per year—and more in times of crisis. Why? Because ensuring that our people feel empowered to do good is part of our business.
