At Calix, caring for the communities we serve is at the heart of everything we do. Calix provides volunteer time off to it's employees, encouraging them to take time to make a positive impact on their communities. Here is a photo of the amazing leaders at Calix in action as they volunteered with 'SolarBuddy' - a non-profit organization providing solar-powered lights to underprivilege communities. They were able create 70 devices to be sent out to children living in energy poverty. Each device averages about two pounds in carbon offset - talk about impact!!

March is Women’s History Month! As our longest running Employee Resource Group (ERG), the Women at Calix ERG has organized a number of events and resources to help celebrate the achievements of women, not only around the world, but also those right here at Calix. This month is about celebrating, honoring, and educating on the amazing women in our lives and those who have come before us. Beyond our curated panel discussions, subject matter experts and fireside chats, the Women at Calix partnered with two additional ERGs –the LatinX Network and the Black Employee Resource Group (BERG) – to bring forward opportunities during March, such as local and global conferences & webinars, volunteer opportunities, educational resources, and importantly, the I Support the Girls campaign. This campaign is a collection drive that assembles and distributes necessities like under garments and menstrual hygiene products through a global network of Affiliates, empowering women and people who are experiencing homelessness, poverty, or distress to stand tall with dignity.
Between Thanksgiving and the holiday season, this time of year is really centered around giving back. As community support is at the forefront of Calix’s values, our team organized a number of volunteer and charitable events for employees to give back this holiday season. We are honored to have taken part in these incredible activities, some of which included, building teddy bears for children in underprivileged communities, recording holiday audiobook for youth with disabilities and even sharing messages of love, hope and seasons greetings through American Sign Language (ASL) for those with hearing loss. At Calix, we believe investing in our communities is an honor and privilege. We look forward to more opportunities to give back to the communities where we live and work.

One of our core values at Calix is “we take care of our own.” This value extends to the communities and organizations that are important to us. Our goal as a company is to support our customers in delivering broadband services to every community. In today’s connected world, we also realize the importance of everyone who is connected, to be digitally literate. We want to support these efforts to ensure that in every community, people know how to be connected, how to use their devices safely and when to spot disingenuous people online. In 2022, we have focused our community efforts on Digital Literacy. At Calix, we encourage employees to dedicate two paid days a year to support their local community. Our Digital Literacy program is just one way we encourage not only our own employees to give back, but we also provide this insight and content to our valued clients.
