Attributed to James Jaeger, Managing Partner, Talent, Deloitte LLP:
"Working with United Way to develop Maximum Impact. has enabled us to create a unique program that effectively integrates Deloitte's rich history of community involvement into our innovative approach to Gen Y recruiting. The beauty of this alternative spring break is that it fosters relationships built on a shared passion for making a difference; the student volunteers will have the opportunity to learn more about our people and organization than they ever could otherwise, while allowing us to make a one-on-one connection with many of our future employees. And most importantly, together we will be giving our time and skills to the ongoing rebuilding effort taking place throughout the Gulf Coast."
Attributed to Evan Hochberg, National Director of Community Involvement, Deloitte Services LP:
"Maximum Impact., Deloitte's Alternative Spring Break program is a fantastic illustration of how community involvement can help a company meet a business need like recruiting. Significant numbers of young people identify themselves as volunteers, so what better way to get to know recruits who share our values than by bringing our commitment to the community to the forefront of our recruiting efforts?"
Attributed to Randy Punley, Director, Corporate Sponsorship, United Way:
"The launch of Maximum Impact. Deloitte's Alternative Spring Break program is a testament to the long standing partnership between Deloitte and United Way and the alignment of our shared interest in advancing the common good. Through this program, Deloitte and United Way are able to inspire young people to action from communities across the country. I am certain this new and innovative approach will serve as a model for other companies seeking to attract young people interested in working for a company, like Deloitte, that is committed to improving community conditions through volunteerism."
