A brief description of the institution’s program to support employee volunteering:
One formal program that Bentley has annually is the Relay 4 Life program organized by the Wellness Center which involves employees and students and raises funds for cancer research.
Other groups organize blood drives, collections of canned goods and items for our troops. Campus Police runs a Toys for Tots donation program each December. Bentley's "Campus Connections" program also provides opportunities to give back to the community via Dress for Success and other clothing drives and the Waltham 5k Run in May, which is a fundraiser for local middle and high schools. In addition, Bentley staff volunteer their time to help with the Office of Sustainability's move out program Give 'N Go where usable items are collected to donate to local charities.
The programs through Campus Connections are subsidized through Bentley and often lunch is included or the 5K registration fee is paid for by Bentley. However, the majority of these programs are volunteer and there are no incentives that Bentley provides.
