Events
As corporate citizenship programs become more aligned with a company's core business, K-12 education has become a primary focus area and important social investment, providing opportunities for employee engagement and community collaboration. The EF Education Initiative works with corporate citizenship programs to support education through a variety of community partners and projects with in-kind donations, volunteer time, and financial support.
This guide aims to provide a context for the challenges and gaps in K-12 education and examples of ways that companies, governments, and nonprofits are maximizing their people, talents, and other resources to be part of the solution. We encourage you to use this resource guide to think about how your organization can join the collective effort to support youth education and help close these gaps.

Corporate Social Impact
EF's Corporate Citizenship Conference, "Corporate Social Impact" is an event designed for companies interested in creating, enhancing, and strengthening their corporate community involvement and philanthropy programs. The Conference will showcase corporate citizenship programs and feature panels and workshops from a broad variety of large and small, public and private companies.
EF conducts quarterly small-group roundtables focused on specific topics to help companies further their community involvement and philanthropy programs. Open to EF members and non-members alike, each roundtable features presenters from companies as case studies and to share best practices and lessons learned. Afterwards, the audience is divided up into small groups for more in-depth discussion on what's happening in their individual companies that they'd like to share, or to get feedback and support from their peers. Attendees leave these roundtables with ideas, tools, examples, and practical next steps for their community involvement programs.
