As a response to the Black Lives Matter movement and in the recognition of social & racial inequalities, Teamwork Commerce decided to take action and started the volunteer branch, TeamworkCares, in June 2020.
TeamworkCares utilizes its global reach and diverse group of team members to promote initiatives that aim to impact our communities, promote awareness and fight for equality. Since its inception, members have impacted communities worldwide.
What do we do?
TeamworkCares is dedicated to advancing the mission of global equality through carefully crafted initiatives. An initiative serves as a proactive avenue for effecting positive change, particularly aimed at enhancing situations. These initiatives can encompass internal initiatives aimed at fostering an inclusive company culture, direct community engagement, or collaborative efforts through partnerships.
Leveraging our expansive global network and diverse team, TeamworkCares is committed to championing initiatives that strive to make a meaningful impact in our communities, raise awareness, and advocate for equality. Since its establishment, our members have actively contributed to positive transformations in communities worldwide.
Strategic Initiatives
Education
Provide youth with Mentorship and education; inspire learning, new ideas and help develop sustainable skills, and provide a social support network relevant to the student’s immediate education needs and life skills. Mentoring is both remote and face-to-face over a sustained period (the school year) to promote greater knowledge, wisdom, or experience.
Mentorship
Partners with community organizations to support and develop diverse and underserved youth and adult entrepreneurs.

TeamworkCares collected over 100lbs of donations to contribute to the tens of thousands of bags requested each year.
Let’s make the change together!
