American 1 is excited to give back even more to our communities with a new Volunteer Local program. We encourage everyone to participate in their communities and, to help our employees do even more, we are giving them paid time-off to volunteer. American 1 will be paying for over 350 hours each month for all employees to volunteer in their community. The goal is to get more employees actively involved in helping to improve their community.

Cheryl Schantz, Vice President of Human Resources at American 1 Credit Union, said “It’s a great way for our employees to be engaged in our culture of community giving. I’m excited because our employees want to be involved and sometimes they don’t know where to start. We’ve encouraged them by giving them resources, and now the flexibility in their work schedule to be able to volunteer.”

 

American 1 Credit Union currently has 180 employees working across 13 branch locations.
