One such relationship is a seven-year-old partnership with Rochester City School 5, located near Kodak’s downtown headquarters. Volunteers provide a wide range of support to students at the school, offering an annual visit to Kodak during “Bring Your Child to Work Day,” traveling with students to the George Eastman House, and presenting annual holiday gifts to students and food baskets to families at the school. Bringing young people to Kodak for the day exposes them to a work world that is diverse and vastly different than the world most students know. “The kids are so surprised when they fi nd out how much people care,” said volunteer Glynne Schultz, a member of the coordinating Women’s Forum of Kodak Employees.
In 2008, Kodak also sponsored a US FIRST Robotics Team with Marshall High School, encouraging acquisition of knowledge about engineering, computers and teamwork; and donated books to students at School 5 and throughout the district through REF’s Give Back Give Books program (and the Corporate Business Research unit). The company also supports programs to boost science education, and provides surplus cameras and other resources to city school classrooms. Rochester Education Foundation honors Kodak for continuing this philanthropic tradition and inspiring young people to succeed in the future.
