塞拉利昂的儿童英语教学

SlumAID是一个与全球发展中社区合作的非营利组织。该组织通过提供志愿服务、教育、卫生和社区发展项目来达成这一目标。Gucci公司的员工通过英语会话课程，援助生活在弗里敦（塞拉利昂）最为贫困的贫民窟之中的儿童，通过这种方式为SlumAID提供支持。该组织开展教育，努力解决导致贫困永久化的社会和环境问题，减少犯罪活动、童工和卖淫。

“我迫不及待地期待下一次会面，因为孩子们的热情、好奇心、对学习的渴望以及他们贯穿整个课程的灿烂笑容，都深深感染了我。我相信，我所得到的远远多于我的付出”。
Gaia，产品护理前台助理

开展社交活动并组织多样性、公平性及包容性的学习

澳门特殊奥运会是一个非营利组织，致力于为智障人士及其家人创造更美好的生活，持续为他们提供各种锻炼胆量的机会，体验同澳门各界人士一样的欢乐和幸福。Gucci员工通过多种活动与该组织成员交流，通过这种重要机会积极引导Gucci企业文化中的核心价值观，即多元化、公平和包容。

“我们的能力比我们想象的要多得多。”

携手Sesta Opera San Fedele，让服刑人员更好地改过自新并重新融入到社会中

Sesta Opera是一个在监狱系统中运营的非营利组织，Gucci员工支持该组织工作，通过一系列活动向服刑人员提供精神和物质援助，让服刑人员更好地改过自新并重新融入到社会中。这项合作已经进行了两年多。

“对我来说，成为一名创变者意味着有机会让自己站在引发社区积极变革的第一线，这要感谢Gucci公司，它了解员工在获得机会时所能产生的巨大影响。能与Sesta Opera的朋友们一起完成众多项目，我感到自豪：我们为服刑人员提供IT辅导、简历筛选和模拟面试，同他们讨论戒毒、自我赋权并提供咨询帮助。对这些在社会中不再重要的人而言，每一项援助都是给与他们关注和尊严，并时刻提醒我们自己，每个人都必须对社会的运行和发展负责。”
Alessandro，全球批发和特许经营规划师

以创变者基金会名义进行团队建设

Centro Accoglienza Ambrosiano Onlus是一家意大利非营利组织，为全世界的母亲及其子女提供援助。这些受援者处于与虐待、暴力、经济不安全等相关的弱势境地，面临被排斥和边缘化的风险，该组织引导她们走向独立自主。Gucci间接渠道与旅游零售部门的员工与该组织共同度过了几天，Gucci团队在Centro Accoglienza Ambrosiano中心开展了一系列维护工作，例如园艺、清洁、粉刷房间和儿童娱乐等。

“能接触到这样一个非政府组织，与孩子和志愿者见面，你会感到感恩和快乐。即便是给秋千重新上色这样的小事，你清楚自己也是在帮助他们，而他们同样在帮助你，并用永生难忘的真诚微笑回报你”。
Gaia，间接渠道与旅游零售部协调员。

Texas Diaper Bank为婴儿、残疾儿童和经济困难的老年人提供尿布。来自Gucci圣马科斯门店的员工帮助组装尿布套件，分发给圣安东尼奥地区（德克萨斯州）有需要的人。

“我非常关心这一点，因为无论如何，这些物品都是每个人都应该获得的必需品。由于德克萨斯州针对妇女权利的政治决定，这对我和我的团队来说是双重重要的。我们作为一家商店自愿参加了一系列活动：组装分发工具包、在仓库中整理服装、为家庭和个人准备订单。我们总是拥有最好的团队，并且总是期盼着再来这里。”
Kimberly，首席团队协调员

韩国的Gucci员工与韩国志愿者联合会合作，为韩国25个地区提供免费送餐车等养老服务，旨在帮助无家可归者、贫困儿童、独居老人以及任何处于危险之中的少数群体等特殊人群提升生活质量。

“录制有声读物，知道成长中的小孩会聆听您的声音并在此过程中成为他们的眼睛，这是我在Sight Savers India获得的最特别的志愿服务体验。”
Sahil，高级客户顾问

“这种体验非常充实，同时也很有趣。事实上，这项练习能够帮助孩子们做一些我非常珍视的事情（阅读），这是一个孩子不应该错过的体验。我非常感谢参与其中，并热切期待着能再有这样的机会。”

在孤儿院教授编程

东京优美威(YOUMEWE)致力于帮助在机构化家庭中成长的儿童，为他们18岁后离开孤儿院的生活做好准备。他们提供支持计划，增加儿童在社区中成为有劳动能力和经济独立的年轻人的机会。Gucci办公室邀请了从非政府组织中受益的年轻毕业生分享他们的经验，创造了认识和交流的时刻。

“我们为日本所有Gucci员工在线和面对面举办了一场讲座活动，鼓励他们参与活动并关注日本孤儿院的现状。我们聆听这些成长于孤儿院的人们发出的心声，得以了解不同类型孤儿院和社会关怀的概念，并思考如何进一步支持这些孤儿院。”
Kyoko，产品保养珠宝助理

“我们提供了PC启动和课程帮助这类支持。令人印象深刻的是，9到11岁的孩子非常灵活，能立即从老师教的内容中吸收知识并反映到编程中。通过这次志愿服务，我们觉得‘学习’正念和感受‘乐趣’是每个人的成长机会。”
Saika，核心人力资源协调员

Working with Sesta Opera San Fedele to promote dignity and social reintegration

Gucci employees supported Sesta Opera, a nonprofit organization that operates in the penitentiary system, giving moral and physical assistance to convicts to promote dignity and social reintegration through a series of activities. It is a collaboration that has been going on for more than two years.

“Being a Changemaker for me means to have the chance to put yourself in the first line to trigger a positive change in your community, thanks to a Company that understands the enormous impact that its people can create when given the opportunity. I am so proud of all the numerous projects we put in place with our friends of Sesta Opera: from IT tutoring for prisoners to CV screening and job interview simulations, from discussions on drug rehabilitation and self-empowerment to counseling. Each one of them is a way of giving importance and dignity to those who don’t matter to society anymore, and to remind yourself that everyone must take ownership on how society works and evolves.”
Alessandro, Global Wholesale & Franchising Planner

Team building as Changemakers

Gucci Indirect Channels & Travel Retail Department employees spent some days at Centro Accoglienza Ambrosiano Onlus, a nonprofit that welcomes Italian and foreign mothers and their children, who are in situations of fragility related to abuse, violence, economic insecurity, and are at risk of exclusion and marginalization, to guide them towards autonomy. The Gucci team did a series of maintenance activities for Centro Accoglienza Ambrosiano’s centers including gardening, cleaning, painting rooms, and recreational activities for the children.

“When you can access an NGO like this and meet with children and volunteers, you feel grateful and joyful. You know you are helping them, even with small things like a re-painted swing but THEY are helping you and rewarding you with such sincere smiles you’ll never forget”.
Gaia, Indirect Channels & Travel Retail Department Coordinator.

Gucci Store San Marcos for Texas Diaper Bank

The Texas Diaper Bank provides diapers to babies, children with disabilities, and seniors that struggle to afford them on their own. Gucci employees from Gucci Store San Marcos helped in assembling diaper kits for distribution to people in need in the San Antonio area (Texas).

“I care a lot about this because these items are essentials that everyone should have access too, regardless of circumstance. It’s doubly important to me and my team due to political decisions being made against women’s rights in Texas. We volunteered as a store, doing a range of activities: assembling kits for distribution, sorting apparel in the warehouse, preparing orders for families and individuals. We always have the best as a team and always look forward to going back.”
Kimberly, Lead Team Coordinator

Distributing Food for elder people

Gucci employees in Korea collaborated with National Volunteer Federation that provides eldercare services including free meal trucks for 25 regions across South Korea, with the mission to enrich the life quality of privileged people such as homeless people, children in poverty, elder people who live alone, any minority at risk.

“Through this, we are reminded of what sharing means. I also feel that this small effort can cheer people up and make them feel loved. It was so rewarding to see them smiling. We are looking forward to having more chances to help our neighbors in difficult circumstances.”
Saerom (Team Manager), Seoyoon (Team Manager), In Ho (Senior Client Advisor)

Recording audiobooks for visually impaired children

Sightsavers is an international organization that works with partners in more than 30 countries to eliminate avoidable blindness and fight for the rights and needs of people with disabilities. Gucci employees in India supported Sightsavers by recording audiobooks for children, providing them the same learning material that a child with eyesight would have, through a different medium.

“Recording an audiobook knowing that young kids growing up will be listening to your voice and becoming their eyes in the process has been uniquely the most special volunteering experience I had with Sight Savers India.”
Sahil, Senior Client Advisor

“The experience was extremely fulfilling while being interesting. The fact that this exercise would be able to help children do something extremely dear to me (reading) and an experience no child should ever have to miss out on. I’m very grateful to have been a part of it and look forward eagerly to another opportunity.”
Pavitra, Associate Store Manager & Team Manager

Teaching coding at an orphanage

YOUMEWE in Tokyo is committed to help children growing up in institutionalized homes and prepare for life outside their centers once they reach the age of 18. They offer support programs that increase a child’s opportunity to become a productive and financially independent young adult in their community. Graduates young people who benefited from the NGO have been invited in Gucci offices to share their experience, creating a moment of awareness and exchange.

“We held a lecture event for all Gucci employees in Japan online and face-to-face, to participate, focusing on the current state of orphanages in Japan. Listening to the people who grew up in the orphanages, we had a good opportunity to learn about different types of orphanages and the concepts of social care and think about how we could further support them.”
Kyoko, Product Care Jewelry Associate

“We provided supports, such as PC booting and lesson assistance. It was so impressive that children aged 9 to 11 were flexible and immediately absorbed from what the teacher taught and reflected it into programming. Through this volunteering, we felt that “learning” about mindfulness and feeling “fun” is a growth opportunity for everyone.”
Saika, Core HR People Coordinator

Raising awareness around refugees situation with UNHCR

UNHCR is mandated by the United Nations to lead and coordinate international action for the worldwide protection of refugees and the resolution of refugee problems. Gucci employees in Japan had the opportunity to attend a webinar of UNHCR on refugees situation in Kenya and Japan.

“We were able to learn from the session that we can already contribute from our close surroundings through learning and sharing about these world issues. We did a specific workshop on the theme “Rebuilding one’s identity to understand the position of refugees”. Through the sessions, we were able to understand and realize that is the current situation of refugees and reflect on our own lives”.
Yumiko, Product Care LG & Shoes Senior Associate
