MCC encourages participation and support of community service agencies, organizations, schools, and similar groups.
If you are a regular full-time employees, you may use up to
7 hours of your normal paid work time every 12 months to do volunteer work for an approved community service activity. The Program Director must first approve the time and your volunteer activity. You then need to schedule the time off with your supervisor at least 4 weeks in advance.
After you complete your volunteer work, you should give documentation to the Program Director that tells when and how much time you volunteered. We would also like to have supporting information, photographs, or materials about your volunteer work so that we can record and recognize your contributions. Contact your Program Director if you have any questions or suggestions about community service activities.
