Annually, on the first Saturday in October, Prudential hosts Global Volunteer Day, a day during which Prudential employees and their families and friends donate hundreds of thousands of hours on projects designed to better the communities in which they live, work, and play.
Global Volunteer Day is part of Prudential's commitment to helping employees achieve a healthy work/life balance, while providing an opportunity both to volunteer in their communities and spend time with their families.

Global Volunteer Day is shaped by the interests of employees and their families. Prudential has found that its employees prefer to choose the nonprofit organizations or issues that will be the focus of their volunteer efforts. As a result, Global Volunteer Day is one of the most diverse and personally engaging corporate volunteer programs in existence. Employees select projects ranging from building homes, tutoring students, and feeding homeless people to collecting clothes, food, or toys for donation.
This year, more than 20,000 individuals are expected to volunteer their time and services by participating in approximately 700 projects in the United States, Asia, Europe, and Latin America.
