Our 2025 Community Service Goal is set: Grow our number of volunteers.

Our participation steadily grew throughout 2024, but even at our peak, only 90 volunteers—less than 25% of our team—contributed in a single month. Imagine what we could achieve if that number doubled!

Let’s find new ways to serve and encourage more of our colleagues to get involved. Whether you or a coworker take your first step and log your first volunteer hour, or you finally log your monthly hours in Kadince, we’ll track and celebrate our growing participation rate each month.

Together, we can set a new milestone for Team TRB and show our communities just how deeply we’re invested in their success.

Let’s all get to work.
