Celebrating Akamai’s Top Volunteers of 2024! 🌍💙 Volunteering is at the heart of who we are at Akamai. This year, we honor 10 incredible employees who each dedicated 99+ hours to giving back and making a real impact in their communities. Join us in celebrating their compassion, commitment, and generosity.
We are proud to partner with Science Club for Girls (SCFG) and support their mission to foster excitement, confidence, and literacy in STEM for underrepresented girls and gender-expansive youth. 💜 Through a recent grant from the Akamai Foundation, SCFG will serve more than 1,100 students over the next year with their K–12 (kindergarten through 12th grade) continuum of free, high-quality, hands-on STEM programs. These programs combine experiential learning, mentorship by diverse women in STEM, and social-emotional support. Thank you to Science Club for Girls for the meaningful work you do, we’re honored to support and collaborate with you! 🙌
