CITI Bahamas celebrated its 12th annual Global Community Day on June 10 with approximately 250 Citi volunteers in Nassau joining the efforts of nearly 100,000 of their colleagues, family and friends in 500 cities in 91 countries and territories to engage in service activities in their local communities. <\/p>\n
In the days leading up to and including Global Community Day, Citi volunteers participated in more than 1,500 service projects ranging from urban revitalisation to mentorship and job skills training, literacy and education, environmental conservation and disaster relief. <\/p>\n
Global Community Day offers a wide range of opportunities to work alongside community and non-profit partners to help improve our cities and neighbourhoods. This year Citi partnered with the Bahamas Crisis Centre by holding a fun fair, stocking their pantry with food items, preparing care packages for some of the families, doing a makeover of the playroom and holding a financial planning session for the parents. <\/p>\n
Citi Country Officer for the Bahamas Margaret Butler said: \"Citi Bahamas is fully committed to volunteerism and to promoting activities which contribute and support the development of our neighbourhood communities, as we are doing here today.\" <\/p>\n
\"Citi's annual Global Community Day is an important event for our firm and one I always look forward to,\" said Citi CEO Michael Corbat. \"It provides an opportunity to deepen our relationships with communities we serve, which is absolutely vital to our business success. And it shows the impact we can have when our people show up in force--nearly 100,000 strong this year.\" <\/p>\n
Since the inaugural Global Community Day in 2006, Citi volunteers have contributed more than three million hours of service to Global Community Day projects in hundreds of cities. This year, Citi volunteers will lead hundreds of community projects across the world. <\/p>\n
