Cross Sector Relationships, Corporate Responsibility and Citizen Service: An Interview with Alan Khazei and Shannon Schuyler - a podcast by Idealist.org

Corporate social responsibility and citizen service are increasingly
becoming two sides of the same coin, as more business-sector employees
and clients demand opportunities to improve their communities as part
of their workplace culture. Exemplifying the beneficial opportunities
of cross-sector alliances is the new national partnership between the
nonprofit Be The Change, Inc., and the business network Pricewaterhouse
Coopers (PwC).



Today’s guests on The New Service podcast from Idealist.og are Be the Change, Inc's Alan Khazei and PwC's Shannon Schuyler.

Alan Khazei is the founder and CEO of Be the Change, Inc, the lead organizer of the Service Nation campaign that has galvanized support throughout the country for passage of the Kennedy Serve America Act. Alan is Co-Founder & former CEO of City Year, the youth service corps that helped to inspire the development of AmeriCorps.



Shannon Schuyler is the Managing Director responsible for PwC's U.S. Corporate Responsibility.
As such she is responsible for fostering meaningful partnerships with
national non-profits, including a new national relationship with Be the
Change, Inc.



The collaboration between Pricewaterhouse Coopers and Be the Change
Inc is aimed at inspiring a new era of voluntary citizen service. PwC
will also serve as a Lead Sponsor for ServiceNation's participation in
the upcoming National Conference on Volunteering and Service. 



Amy Potthast spoke with Alan and Shannon about their evolving
partnership, about how corporate responsibility strengthens
communities, and about how groups can — and must — come together across
sectors to solve our most pressing social problems.
