Celebrating National Nonprofit Day: MitoAction

MitoAction

National Nonprofit Day was created in order to recognize the impact these organizations have on our local communities and around the world.  We all have the ability to promote positive change.  There are a lot of organizations that many people feel a personal connection to. Each quarter our organization gives our employees 8 hours to volunteer to any organization they wish. Philanthropy is one of our core values at Zempleo and we feel it is very important to create a lasting impact on our community and worldwide.

In honor of National Nonprofit Day, we would like to highlight an organization that we are partnering with this year and some of our  employees have volunteered for many years.

We sat down with CEO of MitoAction, Kira Mann, as she explains to us about MitoAction and upcoming events that are happening this year and how you can help support.
