Individual departments invite employees from across the County to assist with internal projects that enhance the County’s overall mission of service to its citizens. Such projects occur outside the employee’s standard duties but allow for greater interaction across departments, increased awareness of County services, and an opportunity to fulfill every employee’s dedication to the community. As an incentive, employees are provided up to eight hours of paid leave time per year targeted specifically for use on these projects. 13,000 County employees + unlimited volunteer spirit = Volunteer 13K!
