Volunteer Program Eligibilty & Restrictions
The cornerstone of the LexisNexis Cares program is our employee volunteer program whereby 13,000 employees around the globe are encouraged to donate their time and skills to local nonprofit agencies, boards and committees. The company generously provides employees two paid days off or 16 hours per year to help the organization(s) of their choice. LexisNexis employees contribute thousands of volunteer hours of service annually to charitable organizations.
