Citizens Energy Group’s Community Volunteer Support Program recognizes employees and retirees for the time they invest in the local community. Each year, volunteers have the opportunity to earn a gift for their hours of service as well as a $250 grant for a non-profit organization for which they volunteer.

Gifts for Volunteers: Each active employee who annually volunteers 20 or more hours to any eligible organization or a combined 10 hours for any projects sponsored by Citizens receives a gift. Retirees must volunteer at least 50 hours annually.

Grants for Non-Profits: Active full-time and part-time employees may apply for one $250 award each calendar year for a non-profit organization for which they volunteered at least 50 hours. Retirees must volunteer at least 100 hours annually.
