CROSS CULTURAL SOLUTIONS

Eli Lilly and Company Connecting Hearts Abroad

About
Lilly partners with Cross-Cultural Solutions, an international nonprofit that operates short-term volunteer programs in 12 countries. Cross-Cultural Solutions has sent more than 30,000 volunteers to developing countries around the world.

Our signature Connecting Hearts Abroad volunteer program requires no specialized skills or expertise—just a passion for making a difference. We’re giving our employees life-changing, eye-opening experiences that we believe will make them more passionate and knowledgeable world citizens. It’s an investment in developing communities, an investment in our employees, and an investment in Lilly’s future.

The Lilly volunteers are providing hands-on support in four categories: health care; caregiving for children and the elderly; teaching; and community development. Each service assignment includes eight or nine Lilly employees from a variety of business functions, from lab technicians to marketing associates to manufacturing specialists. Management, hourly, and salaried employees all have a chance to participate.

Recent Initiative

Brazil May 2014

Volunteer Activity Description

Come join us this May to Brazil for a chance to be immersed in new traditions, cultures, sights, and sounds. In Salvador, you'll find a beautiful cross-section of Afro-Brazilian culture and cuisine. Samba drum beats course through the city's populous neighborhoods, and it's not uncommon to see spontaneous dance parties break out in the streets — so join in!

South America has a distinct pulse and you’ll feel it the moment you arrive to volunteer in Brazil. Whether you find yourself wandering city streets, hiking around prehistoric-looking Amazonian plant life, or dipping your toes in the South Atlantic, prepare to fall in love with all this country and its people have to offer.

As a volunteer in Brazil, you'll work alongside local communities as they work to bridge the economic divide and provide quality care and education for all. Volunteer in Brazil and improve education for children, assist with the care of infants and children, improve health and the sense of dignity among the elderly, improve the quality of care for people with disabilities, or support those affected by HIV/AIDS. When you volunteer in Brazil, you'll have a chance to explore everything that this incredible country has to offer while working to make a real difference in your new community.
