Mission Statement
At Points of Light, our mission is to inspire, equip and mobilize people to take action that changes the world. We believe that we are at the dawn of a “Civic Century,” an age when people become the driving force that transforms our world. We believe when future generations look back on this time, they will see it was an era of sustained, meaningful civic engagement. That’s why our focus is on creating a society where it’s easier to take action than it is to sit on the sidelines.
About This Cause
Points of Light is the world's largest organization dedicated to volunteer service and civic engagement. We deliver our mission through partnerships with companies, a global network of NGO’s and everyday people who want to live their best civic lives. We envision a society where it is easy for every person to drive change in their community, and in the world. We will be a cultural catalyst, working in partnership with organizations and individuals to build a society where it is impossible to sit on the sidelines. We’ll define a new kind of volunteerism for the 21st century, one that calls on people to give their time, talents, voice and resources in service to build a brighter future for all. Modern life has come with numerous technological advancements and a shrinking, interconnected world. If we put these changes to good use, if we strengthen global connections and enrich our daily experiences with pervasive calls to serve, we can make pathways to social impact more accessible, inclusive and impactful. There are three primary ways Points of Light delivers its mission: 1. Strengthening Existing Networks: We're creating connections between nonprofits, corporations and individuals, so that together we can address the world’s changing needs. 2. Creating Pervasive Calls to Act: Our global community is providing more invitations to act, so that civic life can be activated at work, online, in stores, on the ground and via donations. 3. Advocating for Infrastructure: We must advocate for more integrated societal norms, policies and infrastructure that support everyone's ability to do good.
