Corporate Social Responsibility

As a company dedicated to educating leaders and teams in inside-out change and optimal human performance, the InnerWork team is passionate about implementing corporate social responsibility programs to build young leaders with the essential skills and experiences to lead the new millennium.

In 2000, InnerWork funded the formation of a non-profit character educational affiliate organization, TeenWork, to provide advanced character education programs to American high school students using adaptations of InnerWork's corporate leadership and high performance team programs.

Since 2001, our corporate social responsibility initiatives include providing pro-bono school in-service programs to students and teachers with an emphasis on leadership, human performance, health and wellness, stress management, and high performance teamwork.

Recently, InnerWork and TeenWork’s donations of program materials, professional advice, and global contacts have enabled a special partner, The Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School, a cyber charter school serving grades K-12, to launch several world-class youth leadership development programs and service learning programs in the United States and in Central America that are the first of its kind anywhere:

• The Young Leaders Program: an intensive one week residential retreat and 15 week online behavioral change program focused on teaching senior high students advanced, research-based "whole person" practices for enhancing mental, emotional, physical, relational, and leadership performance.
• The Millennium Ambassador Program: an intensive 30 day cultural and language immersion process designed for middle school and high school students to build global awareness of another culture and language, and apply service leadership strategies aligned with the UN Millennium Development Goals for reducing extreme levels of poverty. Current immersion programs include the countries of Panama, Egypt, and China.

InnerWork is also a member organization of the UN Global Compact, and is actively working in partnership with several civil-society organizations in the countries like Panama to reduce extreme levels of poverty through education, eco-tourism, and eco-tourism projects.
