BlackRock Employees Dedicate Their Time to Help Children in Need at Kids In Crisis\u00a0Employees of BlackRock, one of the world\u2019s leading providers of investment, advisory, and risk\u00a0management solutions, recently dedicated their time, energy and hearts to children and\u00a0families in need through volunteer work at Kids In Crisis.<\/p>\n
BlackRock employees are given an opportunity to volunteer their time at a local level through\u00a0their Gives Network, a global community of employees committed to making a positive impact\u00a0in the places where they live and work. Each office\u2019s Gives chapter is a springboard for\u00a0colleagues to work collectively and address their community\u2019s need.<\/p>\n
According to Carmen Ortiz, Administrative Business Partner at BlackRock and Lead of the\u00a0Greenwich Gives chapter, volunteering at Kids In Crisis is something that BlackRock employees\u00a0really enjoy. \u201cBy assisting children in need, we have the opportunity to make a lasting impact and we get to experience it firsthand through our individual interactions.\u201d<\/p>\n
BlackRock has been partnering with Kids In Crisis since 2019 and according to Carmen, longstanding partnerships with local non-profit organizations like Kids In Crisis are important to\u00a0the entire BlackRock community.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe volunteer to help children and families in need because we have the capability and desire to make a difference in our community,\u201d said Carmen. \u201cWe don\u2019t see this partnership as an obligation. Instead, we view it as a privilege to use our resources to make a positive difference\u00a0in the lives of these children.\u201d<\/p>\n
