Now in its third year, the annual program is part of a broad commitment by PwC to Corporate Responsibility.

In the first two years of the Month of Community Service program, PwC contributed more than 140,000 volunteer hours, worth an estimated $10-$15 million in donated time, to nearly 400 community service projects nationwide.
PwC's commitment to Corporate Responsibility extends beyond projects during the month-long community outreach effort. The firm provides all PwC partners and staff with 10 additional hours of paid time off for service within their communities.
"PwC is committed to supporting the communities in which we work and live, and we embrace a philosophy of corporate responsibility through our high impact community service programs," said Shannon Schuyler, Managing Director of Corporate Responsibility for PricewaterhouseCoopers. "We believe we can inspire lasting, transformative change in communities through a focused approach that concentrates our efforts on helping to develop the next generation of leaders."
For this year's month-long initiative, PwC has partnered with a number of organizations dedicated to improving the lives of America's youth and communities including Boys and Girls Clubs, Big Brothers Big Sisters, YMCA, Junior Achievement and Habitat for Humanity, as well as numerous community-based agencies.
