From boxing donated food to mentoring kids about STEM and Technology, our employees volunteer along with the community to make a difference in Utah.
Comcast Cares Day is a chance for us to not only give back but to also teach our children the value of volunteering as families work together side by side. Last year, one out of every five Comcast Cares Day volunteers was under the age of 18. We demonstrate our dedication to youth in our volunteer projects as well. For example, last year, nearly 6,000 volunteers helped improve 14 organizations in Utah including local schools, with the goal of improving the learning environment so students can pursue their education with added enthusiasm.
This year, Comcast employees, friends, and partners will participate in 20 projects across Utah alone. There’s still time for you to join us in making a difference. Volunteers will support our partner organizations on projects that include mentoring local students in STEM and beautifying spaces that serve our communities.
But we can’t do it alone!
If you are looking for an opportunity to get involved and give back to your community, consider participating in Comcast Cares Day.
The day will begin with volunteer check-in and FREE breakfast at 7:00 AM and conclude with FREE lunch by noon. Sign up to volunteer online at Comcast in the Community or view individual projects below and sign up through the direct links.
Volunteers will also receive a FREE Comcast Cares Day T-shirt as a Thank you for participating.
