A brief description of the institution’s program to support employee volunteering:

The college’s mission speaks to the importance of creating engaged citizens; Dickinson supports our employees in their pursuit of civic engagement by allowing individuals to take up to eight (8) hours of paid time on an annual basis to perform community service (Policy in Employee Handbook).

Dickinson traditionally offers an organized opportunity to provide community service by participating in A Day of Caring or other college-sponsored opportunities.

Dickinson offers Social Wellbeing programs or events that support not only one's own emotional wellbeing, but also the social wellbeing of others within our community. Employees are encouraged to enjoy giving back to their community by volunteering in a community-based program or event.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Data reflects closure in March 2020 and switch to virtual and remote engagement as well as founding of a new Center for Civic Learning & Action and reorganization of service programs.

We only track employee service hours for non-exempt employees, so it is safe to assume lots more are contributed that are not tracked and reported here.
