Volunteers provided students with critical
mentoring and served as positive role models
Junior Achievement USA® (JA) today announced that it will honor
HSBC Bank USA, N.A., and HSBC Holdings plc with a Gold level
2017-2018 U.S. President's Volunteer Service Award for providing at
least 15,000 volunteer hours to local JA offices during the
2017-2018 school year. The U.S. President's Volunteer Service Award
will be presented to 44 organizations at an awards ceremony and
celebration event at the New York Stock Exchange during the JA
Volunteer Summit on March 12, 2019 in New York City. The event will
be part of JA’s year-long Centennial Celebration.
In 2003, President George W. Bush established the President's
Council on Service and Civic Participation (the Council) to
recognize the valuable contributions volunteers make in communities
and encourage more people to serve. The Council created the
President's Volunteer Service Award program as a way to thank and
honor individuals who, by their demonstrated commitment and
example, inspire others to engage in volunteer service. In 2006, JA
became an official certifying organization for this award, which
recognizes corporations with a U.S. presence that provide
volunteers to teach JA programs anywhere in the world.
“HSBC has a long history with JA that’s allowed our employees to
give back in a meaningful way,” said Morris Churchill, Head of
Community Development & Sales Administration, HSBC Bank USA,
N.A. “Year after year, we remain committed to volunteering our time
and expertise to help JA students develop the work-readiness,
entrepreneurship and financial wellness skills that they’ll need to
thrive in today’s society.”
Although it’s been just over a decade since HSBC received its
first U.S. President’s Volunteer Service Award, the Bank has a long
relationship with JA that began in 1942 with a $25 donation. That
has since expanded to HSBC’s significant support of JA chapters
across the U.S. with funding, skill-based volunteers and the
creation of the JA “Global Marketplace” curriculum that teaches
students about global business and trade which are two of HSBC’s
key areas of expertise.
“HSBC has been a champion for financial empowerment across the
globe and a terrific partner with Junior Achievement of New York at
the local level for many years,” said Joseph A. Peri, President and
CEO, Junior Achievement of New York. “The Bank has earned this
unique recognition thanks to its unflagging commitment to volunteer
engagement and financial literacy and is a wonderful model of
meaningful corporate citizenship.”
JA’s kindergarten through high school programs are delivered
across the country by a network of more than 245,000 volunteers,
including 7,200 in the Greater New York area. JA programs provide
innovative, hands-on work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial
literacy education to more than 90,000 students in the New York
City, Long Island and the Lower Hudson Valley communities each
year.
