Culture of Volunteerism
Page summary
Tucson Electric Power fosters a culture of volunteerism by encouraging employees to support local nonprofits, community events and charitable causes, contributing hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours to strengthen communities across Southern Arizona.
Volunteer service forms the heart of our corporate culture at Tucson Electric Power. The passion for volunteerism starts with our leadership and is shared by many of our 1,800 employees, who play a direct role in strengthening the community.
About one-third of our employees actively volunteer on their own or through TEP’s employee-led Community Action Team (CAT). Their efforts ensure that food pantries are stocked and that children have clothing, school supplies, and basic health care.
Our CAT volunteers participate in 100+ community events, drives, and causes each year. Since our CAT program began in 1993, TEP employees and the friends and family members who join them at CAT events have contributed countless hours of volunteer service to our community.
In addition to organizing and funding volunteer activities, TEP offers donations to support employees who volunteer with organizations such as 4-H, sports teams, music booster clubs, and special-interest clubs or camps through its Dollars for Doers program.
Request Volunteers
TEP provides employee volunteers to support nonprofit events when a TEP employee serves as a liaison with your organization and as TEP’s volunteer coordinator. You will need to work directly with that employee to submit your request for volunteer assistance. Please submit your request at least 90 days before the event so we have adequate time to secure and coordinate volunteers. Volunteer participation does not ensure a financial contribution from TEP.
Request Board Members
Nonprofit organizations may request that a TEP employee serve on their governing board, provided certain requirements are met. We want to ensure a positive experience for both the TEP employee and your organization. You must be able to meet all of these requirements and provide Directors and Officers Insurance. Service on the TEP employee board does not guarantee a financial contribution from TEP.
