Volunteers for Life
Volunteers for Life demonstrates Alcoa employees’ committment to volunteering efforts with community organisations. Through programs such as ACTION, Bravo! and Making the Link, Alcoa Point Henry and our employees are supporting the organisations that make our communities stronger and more sustainable.
ACTION is a program that has been developed by the Alcoa Foundation to recognise the collective efforts of Alcoa employees in communities where they life and work. Alcoa rewards initiatives where teams of employees of five or more choose to volunteer their time working together on a special community project. Each ACTION project not only receives the volunteer labour, but also a grant for US$1500 or $US3,000.
Bravo! is also made available through the Alcoa Foundation and recognises Alcoa employees who already volunteer within community organisations. Alcoa volunteers can nominate community organisations for a Bravo! grant every year if they have devoted 50 or more personal hours to the community organisation. The community organisation nominated for the Bravo! grant receives US$250.
BacLinks is an exciting organisation that promotes and facilitates links between the business and community sectors. Through this exciting project Alcoa and community organisations are linked across Geelong and region in monthly volunteer activities through the ‘Making the Link’ program.
As part of the program, Alcoa allows each employee, one working day per year to spend helping out on a community project. This program is designed to improve and support the Geelong community and encourage a volunteering conscience within employees, through their exposure to community needs and positive outcomes of volunteering.
Monthly activities have included the Winter Workplace Big Day Out, the Poppykettle Festival, taking a group of residents from Karalee Nursing Home on an outing to the Wool Museum and Carousel, planting trees at Buckley's Falls and many other meaningful activities.
