Employee Community Involvement
At Mizuho Americas, we champion uplifting the communities where we live and work, encouraging employees to support the nonprofits they care about through volunteering and by providing matching gifts. Employees can double their personal donations and impact with matching gifts year-round.
Taking the time
Our ongoing volunteer programs are dedicated to addressing local needs in the Americas, empowering employees to make a meaningful impact. These initiatives encompass skills-based and hands-on activities aimed at underserved youth, including mentoring and college and career readiness workshops; and addressing basic needs such as hunger relief through meal service and packing projects.
