Protiviti’s Intern Day of Service to Help Non-Profits Across U.S. on July 19

MENLO PARK, CA – July 17, 2019

WHO:   More than 230 college student interns participating in the summer internship programme at global consulting firm Protiviti (www.protiviti.com) will volunteer during the firm’s annual U.S. Intern Day of Service. The students will be joined in some cities by hundreds more employees, executives, clients and family members.

WHAT:  The sixth annual Intern Day of Service. Protiviti’s interns will volunteer on Friday in 23 U.S. cities concurrently for a variety of non-profit organisations including: Rise Against Hunger (Charlotte); Ronald McDonald House (Pittsburgh); SHARE Food Programme (Philadelphia); Food Lifeline (Seattle); and the American Cancer Society – Hope Lodge (Tampa), among several others.

Examples of Protiviti Intern Day of Service projects include:

• Atlanta interns and their Protiviti advisors will volunteer with non-profit organisation 100 Black Men of Atlanta to help the Johnson STEM center paint the floor of its robotics lab, providing a space for students to collaborate on extracurricular STEM projects
• In Boston, interns will serve dinner to guests at local non-profit Friends of the Homeless Women’s Woods Mullen Shelter​
• Protiviti interns in Los Angeles will participate in a trash clean-up of Venice Beach
• New York City interns will join with City Meals to deliver meals to the homebound elderly in Manhattan

WHEN:   Friday, July 19, 2019 (various times depending on location; contact Protiviti for exact times per location)

WHY:     The annual Intern Day of Service is a staple in Protiviti’s summer internship programme because of the firm’s dedication to volunteerism and community service. The inclusion of interns in Protiviti’s community initiatives has proven successful in helping them to understand the firm’s fundamental values and culture, while also providing them with an opportunity to give back to the local communities where they are living and interning for the summer.

Several of the Intern Day of Service activities will support Protiviti’s year-round, award-winning, community service initiative known as ‘i on Hunger,’ which has provided more than eight million meals for the hungry around the world through meal-packing events, food drives and meal delivery efforts since its inception in 2014.

WHERE:   Volunteer events will take place in the following markets: Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Ft. Lauderdale, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Seattle, St Louis, Tampa and Washington, D.C.
