What Attendees Say About Startups Give Back

“From the moment I was connected to Jeremy at Startups Give Back, it was clear that the organization had a contagious passion for serving others.
 
Throughout the event prep, Jeremy successfully utilized his organization and communication skills in order to help Dialpad make a difference in the lives of others during this difficult time. We were able to virtually mentor college-aged students in our respective communities, and the event was so successful that many of us actually intend on keeping in touch with the students we were matched with.
 
I cannot say enough great things about Startups Give Back. Without them, we would not have been able to give back in this way, and Dialpad is so grateful.”
 
— Melissa Chura, Dialpad

“Startups Give Back was an absolute pleasure to work with. We talked about what our group was most interested in and the dates we were available and within a few days they had an organization lined up for our group! Our timing changed a bit from when we first spoke and they went above and beyond to make the new date and time work for us. We had a few other volunteer activities that week so working with Startups Give Back made my life so much easier and made getting our office out and volunteering easy and enjoyable! If you want to get your company out into your community but aren’t sure where to start or how to do it, I would highly recommend using Startups Give Back!”

The kids there are so friendly and welcomed us with open arms. It was nice to be able to walk around to different departments like the gym and their art room to volunteer. Overall, it was a smooth and fun experience. We’ll definitely volunteer again!”
