Our People

Goldman Sachs is committed to helping our people assist our communities through financial support, volunteer endeavors and partnerships with nonprofit organizations worldwide.

Our people bring to their community service the same qualities they bring to their professional work: excellence, commitment, innovation, energy, new ideas and an appreciation of both the big picture and the importance of the individual.

Community TeamWorks: Each year since 1997, our people, along with our families and friends, have given back to the communities where we work and live. Community TeamWorks is Goldman Sachs’ signature volunteer program that allows each person time away from work to volunteer on a team-based project with a nonprofit organization. This program has offered innovative volunteering opportunities worldwide that make a tangible difference in our communities and that foster inter- and intra-divisional camaraderie within the firm.
