Good for Me. Good for My City.
Spotlight: American Express
American Express has pledged to engage 2,000 of their NYC-based employees in volunteerism in
2017, and 250 specifically as mentors to high school students. To achieve this goal American Express offers employees biweekly volunteer mentoring opportunities in their office.
John Hall, an employee of American Express, helps #MentorNYC with Big
Brothers Big Sisters of New York City (BBBS). He mentored his little brother through four years of high school, offering him support and guidance to build confidence, ace school work, and complete college applications.
“I am proud to say that today my little brother is enrolled in a four-year university, out-of-state, and plans to pursue a degree in philosophy," said John Hall. "I like to think our
relationship helped make the journey to college a little easier. Most importantly, I hope it made a difference in his life, just as it did in mine.”
To read more about John’s experiences with BBBS, be sure to visit CSR Now! for a full interview on May
30th.

Good for Me. Good for My City.
Spotlight: Brookfield
Brookfield believes that making a positive contribution to the communities in which they operate
is fundamental to the way they do business. Through various initiatives, the goal of their corporate citizenship program is to use both their human and financial resources to help enrich the lives of those in need in the communities in which they operate.
On Tuesday, May 9th, the Brookfield Women’s Network partnered with Brookfield Place New York retailers and The Bowery Mission to raise thousands of dollars with Shop for a Cause, a campaign
where participating shops donated 10% of sales for the day to
The Bowery Mission Women’s Centers. The
Shop for a Cause campaign marks the latest partnership between Brookfield and The Bowery Mission, which has served homeless, hungry, and poor New Yorkers since 1879 by providing meals, shelter,
medical care and long-term recovery for adults.
