Give Back While Getting Ahead: Volunteering with Empower Work | San Francisco

About this event

This lunch & learn will explore a unique volunteering opportunity to sharpen your professional skills--while giving back! Empower Work provides confidential and free support for tough work issues via SMS. The nonprofit organization is fueled by a network of working professionals who volunteer their time to help people navigate their trickiest work challenges.

Over 95 percent of volunteers say they’re not only able to give back, but they’re also able to reinvest the skills they learn into their own careers--making them stronger managers and leaders. Hear from Empower Work peer counselors and find out if this could be a good fit for you or your company. Bring your lunch, and get ready to be inspired!
