Social Responsibility
Supporting Communities and Causes
Michels demonstrates our responsibility as a strong corporate citizen by investing in the communities where we live and work. Our roots have spread far beyond the small, rural town where we were established, but our pride in the places we call home remains as strong today as it was in 1959. In addition to building projects to improve lives, Michels is committed to building strong communities in other ways. We actively give back to local communities, regions and national causes by providing financial contributions, donations and volunteer support.
Community Involvement
Being actively involved in our communities enriches the lives of our people and has a positive impact on the culture at Michels. Each year, we support events and causes aligned with our Core Values. Our annual coast-to-coast activities include Earth Day, 12 Days of Giving, and Adopt-a-Highway programs.
Initiatives
Supporting Education
One of the many ways we give back is by participating in activities focused on students in grades K-12. In addition to supporting the communities in which we live and work, we use these opportunities to raise awareness about careers in the skilled trades and energy and infrastructure construction.
Michels Career Exploration Day
Michels invites students from area middle and high schools to spend a day getting a rare behind-the-scenes look at our shops and yard. Students learn about the variety of challenging employment opportunities available to people with strong STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) skills. During a tour of our facilities, the students get first-hand experience on what careers are available in crafts and trades.
What we Support
Michels is dedicated in supporting programs focused on helping our local communities prosper, grow and achieve long-term sustainability. Charitable donations are limited to non-profit organizations and academic institutions located within the counties/cities surrounding Michels regional office locations and jobsites. It is important to realize we will need 6 weeks of advance for each request.
