GCI Employees Set Company Volunteerism Record

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Whether through financial contributions, grants, in-kind donations or scholarships, GCI has a long history of supporting the causes and organizations that serve our customers. That culture of giving is bolstered by GCI employees throughout the state and in the Lower 48, who set a new company volunteerism record in 2018.

In 2018, more than 660 GCI employees participated in GCI’s Community Service Program, contributing nearly 8,200 volunteer hours to their favorite nonprofits. The 2018 data smashes the 2017 record of nearly 500 employees and more than 4,200 hours.

Employees donate their time through the GCI Community Service Program (CSP). The GCI CSP provides full-time GCI employees with 16 hours of paid time each year to volunteer with the community organization of their choice.

“GCI promotes a culture of giving back and the numbers show that our employees take this commitment to community seriously,” said Heather Handyside, GCI vice president of Corporate Communications. “From our retail store staff to our senior leadership, network engineers to field technicians, GCI employees are volunteering with local partners on the causes that matter most to them and to the communities where they live.”
