Crew-powered change: Highlighting our Vanguard Community 365 All Stars

At Vanguard, our crew are more than employees, they’re the foundation of our culture. One way this culture comes to life is through Vanguard’s Community 365, an initiative that empowers crew to engage with and support the communities where we live and work.

Community 365 connects crew with hundreds of organizations that help address a wide range of needs. From education and housing to food security and more—our crew aren’t just volunteering, they’re making a meaningful impact through their time, skills, and passion.

The initiative reflects Vanguard’s commitment to service, collaboration, and leadership—values that shape both our workplace and outreach.

In this blog, we’re highlighting Community 365 All Stars who are leading the charge in giving back to their communities. See how their efforts are making a collective impact and inspiring change!

Recognizing our All Stars:

“By taking part in Vanguard Community 365, I was able to discover volunteering programs and get involved in strengthening and engaging the community in Charlotte. Vanguard has not just provided me with a paycheck, but with a community that extends far beyond the office.”

—Haley L.

“My favorite community program is Volunteer 365 because of the mission-oriented purpose of giving back 365 days a year. That resonates with me, as I can be a part of many different on-site and off-site volunteer events that our crew get to engage in and drive impact.”

—Jacob M.
Process Improvement Analyst, Personal Investor

“Giving to the community is important to me because it fosters a sense of belonging and mutual support. When we contribute to our community, whether through volunteering, donating, or simply being kind to others, we help create a strong, more resilient network of people who can rely on one another.”

—Sarah L.
Business Transformation and Change Management Lead, Human Resources

“My favorite community program at Vanguard is Strong Start for Kids, which is our signature philanthropic portfolio.
