The Corporation for National and Community Service has honored Pearson, the international education and information company, with this year’s Corporate Spirit of Service award for outstanding support of national service and volunteering! The Spirit of Service Award recognizes Pearson’s exemplary support through its employees, businesses, and our support of Jumpstart and the Read for the Record Campaign.
The Spirit of Service Award was presented by David Eisner, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service, at the National Conference on Volunteering and Service, the world's largest gathering of volunteer and service leaders. Pearson Foundation President Mark Nieker, and William Barke, CEO of Pearson's Higher Education Arts & Science Group, accepted the award on behalf of Pearson on Sunday in Atlanta.
We're a Founding Partner and National Partner for Jumpstart’s Read for the Record 2008 Campaign (www.readfortherecord.org) – the largest shared-reading experience on record – helping Jumpstart raise over $2 million to date for young children and rallying together hundreds of thousands of individuals across the world to volunteer for literacy. Together, we have worked to set a new standard for corporate-nonprofit partnerships that can impact the achievement gap in America.
