Can my company pay for my participation in the MWI?

Note: As of 2023, the MovingWorlds Institute is on pause as we redesign it for a post-COVID era — making it more accessible, scalable, and connected to the broader impact ecosystem via our TRANSFORM Support Hub. No new cohorts will launch in 2023.

Absolutely! More and more companies are including employee volunteer programs in their benefit packages, and with good reason: according to Deloitte's Volunteer Impact Research, creating a culture of volunteerism boosts morale, workplace atmosphere, and brand perception. Company-sponsored volunteering is also one of the best ways to develop employees into leaders, while at the same time boosting loyalty and engagement.
