200,000 Volunteers. 800,000 hours. 3,000+ non-profit associations - Money can’t buy concerts 🎶💥
This summer in Paris, RockCorps passed a significant milestone: 200,000 volunteers have taken action since we began.
RockCorps began in the aftermath of 9/11 with a feeling of urgency to bring young people together and reimagine who could be a volunteer; with music as the central foundation.
From the start, RockCorps believed brands too should play a leading role: helping young people connect, engage and feel part of something bigger - play a role in their civic lives. With RockCorps, volunteering has taken its place alongside in youth culture, alongside music, fashion sports.
Not everyone has money to give, but everyone has time. Time is indeed the most democratic measure. That’s how Give, Get Given was born — with the first concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York, supported by
@boostmobile .
200,000 volunteers later and across the UK, France, Israel, Japan, Australia, South Africa, Venezuela, Mexico and Colombia, that belief still drives us: to make giving your time not only meaningful, but fun and filled with joy.
You can’t buy a ticket. You can’t win a ticket.
You have to earn a ticket.
RockCorps is a unique model that blends social purpose with entertainment, partnering with visionary brands and inspiring artists to change how people think, feel and act – the messenger is as important as the message.
So far, RockCorps volunteers have given over 800,000 hours of service, supporting over 3,000 non-profit associations worldwide. Most recently, together with
@ibisfr , in Paris, ibis RockCorps brought
@blackeyedpeas ,
@Guy2Bezbar and
@adelecastillon to the stage as we passed the 200K milestone.
To every brand partner, volunteer, artist, sponsor, staff and business partner: thank you. Far more than a job – this is a way of life; finding a better way to support and love one another. Living 2.0. We need it.
Now more than ever, we seek a world that feels as it ought to be – people working, laughing, collaborating, and dancing together. Making our neighborhoods just a little bit better today than they were yesterday.
