Our greatest asset is our people
Their talent. Their energy. Their passion for their communities. It’s why each year, our volunteer programs connect thousands of our associates with health-focused nonprofits across the commonwealth. It’s hands-on help, right at the heart of where we all live.
Our associates serve the community through:
BlueCrew volunteer projects
By offering volunteers a robust calendar of more than 200 year-round service opportunities, we help our associates use a minimum of 15 hours of paid volunteer time to assist the current needs of our community through a project of their choice.
Skills-based volunteering
Associates looking to make a deeper impact can apply their unique talents to help solve a not-for-profit’s business challenge through our Skills-Based Volunteer Program.
Service Day: One Community. One Blue.
Every September, our associates come together for a day of service to support not-for-profits across Massachusetts. Organizations are invited to submit a project need that aligns with our health justice focus, and if it’s accepted, they’re provided a grant to cover the project costs and a group of enthusiastic volunteers to complete the task.
Since its inception in 2011, Blue Cross has made more than $11 million in community contributions on this annual day of service. We’ve built new outdoor play spaces for children to stay active, harvested fresh produce to donate to local food pantries, cleaned beaches and cleared trails to improve access to green space, and more.
Excellence in Service 2024
The Excellence in Service program recognizes associates who deepen our company’s social impact through extraordinary volunteering, contributions to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB), and/or participation in our climate and health resilience initiatives.
These associates embody our mission to show up for everyone like they’re the only one and live our company’s values, especially to be community-focused, always.
Our 2024 pinnacle award winner is Jeannie Cai.
