The Corporate Volunteer Council (CVC) is designed to help corporations who are looking for ways to motivate their employees to volunteer in their communities; enhance or expand existing volunteer programming; and provide a way to recognize employees for outstanding service in the community. Companies already taking advantage of the CVC include, Alcoa, Google, UPMC, Sapa, Omnyx, Highmark, Eat’n Park, BNY Mellon, The Port Authority of Allegheny County, and TiER1 Performance Solutions, among others.
