Giving back to our communities is not just something we want to talk about - it’s something we want to make a part of the Secure Code Warrior culture. We believe strongly that working together makes us stronger. That is why we are committed to finding ways to make a difference in the many places we work around the world.

Our team lives and works in many communities around the world, and every quarter we take some time to give back, build connections and make an impact. We participate in activities like team-oriented projects, volunteering time and providing resources. Our team also has access to two paid volunteer days per year to give back to charity and non-profit causes close to their heart.

The #GivingTuesdayNow event kicked off globally on May 5, 2020, to connect with communities around the world that are giving back. For the following Tuesdays in May, Warriors gave back, with a focus on giving thanks, giving local, giving what we could, and giving together. 41 team members logged over 1200 miles with the Charity Miles App, with those miles translating to monetary donations to the St Jude Children's Research Hospital, World Wildlife Fund, Alzheimer's Association, National Multiple Sclerosis Society, American Lung Association, UNICEF, Save the Children, She's The First, Every Mother Counts, Malala Fund, and more.
A double whammy this time. For every $ donated by our team members to a charity or not-for-profit of their choice, Secure Code Warrior matched that donation to the World Food Programme!
