Volunteerism

Enhancing the fabric of our communities is not only what we do, it’s who we are. We provide financial support, in-kind contributions, and board service to hundreds of nonprofits dedicated to the arts, environmental stewardship, community, civics, and education.

Employees at CECONY and O&R donate their own time and resources through our volunteer program to give back to the communities we serve. During 2017, CECONY and O&R employees volunteered 9,000 hours of their own time at over 200 events. The happiness, fulfillment, and renewed energy our employees experience is priceless – whether it’s helping at a soup kitchen, cleaning up parks, planting and pruning trees, mentoring students, serving disadvantaged people, rehabilitating homes for veterans, career coaching, or any number of other activities. 

A dedicated employee engagement platform makes it easy for employees, as well as retirees and their families, to choose how to give back.
