[RaduTyrsina]

Apple has informed ts employees about a new volunteer program that it's launching, designed to encourage Apple workers in select locations to volunteer in their local communities. Here's how the company's memo sounds like:

Since its launch in 2011, the Apple Matching Gifts Program has been an astounding success, with a combined total of over $78 million donated to charities and non-profits around the world. Now employees in the U.S. have a new way to make an even bigger impact on the causes they care about where they live: the Apple Global Volunteer Program.

The program empowers employees to become Volunteer Champions and receive training and tools to help organize and publicize volunteer events in their communities. It also makes it easy for employees to find activities where they can volunteer their time and quality for Matching Gifts. Right now we’re piloting the program in the US, Sydney, and Cork with the goal of expansing it worldwide in the future.

With its new Apple Global Volunteer Program, Apple is offering employees a way to receive training and tools to help them create and publicize local volunteer events to improve their communities. The program is currently available in the United States, Sydney, and Cork (Ireland). The company plans to include more locations in the near future, as well.
