A brief description of the institution’s employee community service initiatives:
Drexel's Dragon Volunteers program offers all part- and full-time benefits-eligible employees paid time away from the work site to pursue a community service activity of their choice. Each employee has up to 16 paid service hours. Options for service activities include opportunities for groups of employees to do a service activity together; individual service activities working with partners identified by Drexel's Lindy Center for Civic Engagement; or independent service activities with a nonprofit organization of the employee's choice.
