Matthew, The Getty has an active Community Service Team since 2000. It's headed by a person with the title Senior Project Management Coordinator.
Mission: The Community Service Team cultivates new ideas for building our community within the Getty and serving the greater Los Angeles community. We are fueled by the ambition to raise awareness of community service projects at the Getty and encourage staff involvement in new endeavors. The Team leads a variety of community-related events during the year including on-site blood drives and food/toy collections during the holidays (with collections being distributed to local relief agencies). There is a list of more than 30 local arts, education, and social service related organization in the area that they have worked with. They also organize employees to participate in Revlon Run/Walk for Women, AIDS Walk/LA, National Public Lands Day, and Day With(out) Art. All meetings are open to everyone and any employee or volunteer can participate. As an employee, I find it a great way to meet people from other organizations in this large organization and to get out of my routine at least once a month for the lunch meeting. Hope this helps.
