MEDIA RELEASECollette Resumes Paid Employee Volunteer Program
Pawtucket, RI (May 2, 2022) – Dan Sullivan, CEO of the global tour operator Collette, today announced the resumption of the company’s employee volunteer program to assist local nonprofit organizations and the communities they serve. Prior to the pandemic, Collette employees volunteered approximately 4,500 hours of service annually to more than 25 nonprofit organization in Rhode Island, where Collette is headquartered, as well as in Henderson, Nevada; Toronto, Canada; and Sydney, Australia, where Collette has offices. “Since the early days of Collette, one of our core philosophies has been to positively impact the communities where we work, live and travel,” said Sullivan. “It was frustrating not to engage with our community during the pandemic, and we are excited to get back to it by rolling up our sleeves, helping where we can, and working side by side with our wonderful neighbors and friends.” With Collette’s employee volunteer program, employees are paid their normal salary for volunteering up to four hours per month. The company’s 490 employees may volunteer at any of the volunteer events the company sponsors each month or at any nonprofit they choose. Employees in leadership roles are encouraged to serve on a nonprofit board or in a similar advisory capacity. While Collette officially resumes its employee volunteer program this month, the company kick-started its efforts with two volunteer events in their Rhode Island headquarters in April: sponsoring and serving daily lunch at McAuley House in Providence beginning April 19 and sprucing up the grounds of the Pawtucket Boys & Girls Club in recognition of Earth Day on April 22.
