Filling the communities’ needs with an extra shot of good Starbucks partners volunteer for Renovate to Educate Program at the Agripino Manalo National High School in Pateros.
Starbucks partners (employees) are trained not only to pour an extra shot of good in each cup but also in everything they do. Now, Starbucks aims to inspire its partners to serve beyond stores and straight to communities where they are a part of. This is in line with the company’s goal to have 100 percent of its stores globally to participate in a community service starting 2020.
Recently, Starbucks began inspiring volunteerism among its partners by involving them in several community service projects. This time, the partners volunteered for the Renovate to Educate (RED) Project with long-time partner, Teach for the Philippines (TFP).
As a non-profit organization with a mission of providing quality education to Filipino children, TFP works together with RED to rehabilitate classrooms and facilities in public schools across the country.
A troop of close to 70 Starbucks partners from 26 stores visited the Agripino Manalo National High School in Pateros to refurbish chairs and tables and repaint facilities of the school which has been used as a voting center in the last elections.

Volunteers helped repair and repaint two of the 70 school chairs that needed refurbishing.
By the end of the day, the partners were able to build 10 bookshelves, repair and repaint seventy chairs, refurbish nine tables in the school canteen, and repaint an entire classroom and canteen.
Apart from their service through RED, Starbucks also offers more opportunities for their partners to volunteer through partnerships with other organizations, including Haribon Foundation and Habitat for Humanity.
The company has continued to expand its business globally with thousands of stores in different countries. With this huge network, the brand aims to use its scale in doing good and to work towards its mission of nurturing the human spirit. By empowering each of its partners and stores to uplift their communities, Starbucks truly creates ripples of change.
