The Excellence in Volunteerism Award is designed to recognize Corning employees who go above and beyond by volunteering their free time at eligible nonprofit organizations.
Employees who volunteer on a regular basis are not only providing their valuable time and talents to an organization, they are also helping to strengthen Corning communities, solve problems, and improve the lives of others. We recognize excellence in volunteerism through our Excellence in Volunteerism Award. This award recognizes employees’ contributions and rewards the causes they care about most.
