DRI is Community Minded
We instill in our culture a sense of corporate citizenship and strive to partner with organizations that feel the same way. We believe that a positive culture and giving back go hand-in-hand. And our employees couldn’t agree more!
Community Involvement
Our team feels good about community involvement and plays an active role in selecting a charity or cause. There’s a consensus here that giving back is the right thing to do. When our team bands together, we know that we can make a difference, help drive change, and strengthen our roots in the community. We also feel that a genuine commitment to a cause is a source of personal satisfaction as well as pride in our work and where we work.
DRI participates in various other fundraisers, charitable events, and opportunities to give in the community. Below shows organizations we have supported in recent years.
DRI volunteers during the year with Values in Action, which is a foundation that empowers students and adults to build communities of kindness, caring and respect through programs that teach, promote and provide skills and tools to enable individuals to make positive, values-based decisions every day. Specifically, we participate in the Project Love school programming which includes helping inner-city, at-risk high school students increase their chances of graduating from 47% to 85% (Believe to Achieve) and the Project Love character education program at John Adams High School, which integrates community leaders, life lessons, mindfulness, lessons about job readiness, and cognitive behavioral psychology techniques along with the academic curriculum.
