Volunteers will provide approximately 4,000 hours of service

Employees from across the Exelon family of companies will observe National Volunteer Week (April 6-12) by participating in more than 150 employee-led service projects in the communities Exelon serves, from cleaning up parks and other public spaces to serving meals to people struggling with poverty to mentoring at-risk students.

National Volunteer Week is an annual, nationwide celebration of people working to improve their communities through volunteer service. For the eighth consecutive year, Exelon employees are organizing community service projects in which more than 1,000 employees, family members and friends are expected to participate this week and throughout the month of April.

“Our employees look forward to National Volunteer Week as an opportunity to better the quality of life in the communities they serve,” said Exelon President and CEO Chris Crane, “and their passion for serving does not end there. All year long, our dedicated employees donate their time and energy to the causes and organizations that matter to them to help create a brighter, more sustainable future where our communities thrive.”

Exelon empowers employee volunteers to design their own National Volunteer Week service projects and recruit others to participate. Projects focus on education, environmental stewardship, diversity and inclusion, and community enrichment, and involve employee volunteers from all of Exelon’s businesses, including: ComEd in northern Illinois, PECO in southeastern Pennsylvania, Constellation and BGE in Maryland, and Exelon Generation and Exelon Business Services Company in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Texas.

Exelon has a longstanding tradition of charitable giving and service to civic and nonprofit organizations through its “Energy for the Community” corporate citizenship program. Last year, more than 3,800 Exelon employee volunteers gave almost 86,500 hours of their time to community nonprofit organizations. This is equivalent to more than 2,162 workweeks or nearly 41 years of fulltime service.
