Volunteerism

U.S. Bank Development Network

At U.S. Bank, our greatest asset is our employees. The Development Network promotes the personal and professional development of U.S. Bancorp employees by encouraging and capitalizing on their diversity. With 57 Development Network Chapters, employees throughout U.S. Bank are provided opportunities to learn new skills, network with colleagues and engage in meaningful community projects.

U.S. Bank Green Teams

U.S. Bank Green Teams are groups of employee volunteers interested in being internal ambassadors for our environmental stewardship efforts. Green Team members encourage sustainable behavior from fellow employees whether at work or at home, like reducing printing where possible, turning off lights not being used, recycling and utilizing alternatives to driving. Since the program’s inception in 2007, U.S. Bank has created 30 active Green Teams nationwide.

Five Star Volunteer Day

Committed to making the communities we serve a better place, our Five Star Volunteer Day provides up to eight hours of paid time-off each calendar year for eligible employees to volunteer and become actively involved in their local communities.

We’re also proud to co-sponsor an annual Community Service Initiative in partnership with The Financial Services Roundtable. During Community Service 2010, more than 36,000 employees participated in 2,600 community involvement activities to improve the neighborhoods in which they live and work, helping and estimated 217,000 individuals through these efforts.
