Like many other companies who take advantage of National Volunteer Week, Starbucks celebrated a Global Month of Service during April. They are not only mobilizing their partners (employees) to participate in community events, they are partnering with other business such as Fidelity Investments and Alaska Airlines. They also invite customers to participate in the estimated 2,000 projects planned for 55 countries across the world. Projects include providing job search assistance and hygiene kits to individuals in need (Seattle, Washington), participate in outdoor restoration projects (Atlanta, Georgia), organizing art supply drives for Harry Van Arsdale Educational Complex students (New York, NY), helping at charity walks, and numerous other local events.
