Corporate Engagement Opportunities

Welcome to ACSA!

We’re glad you’ve decided to support your local community agency. Our programs and services provide a social safety net in our Scarborough communities where we want all residents to live, grow and thrive. 

Providing frontline, hands-on support to our community is a powerful experience, especially when done with a team. That’s why we’re always happy to welcome corporate groups looking to learn and make a positive impact in our local area.  

Coordinating group volunteer projects have both operational and material costs for ACSA. So, we ask our corporate volunteers to join us in keeping our important programs going by providing a contribution. Business receipts will be provided for funds received. 

Check out our menu of opportunities available for corporate groups or businesses. We would love to help with your team building, and we’re open to ideas as to how your corporation/business would like to engage. Give us a call and we’ll tailor opportunities to meet your needs.
