Our Focus Areas
Volunteerism and employee engagement
3M employees and alumni volunteer their time, talents and expertise to improve lives in their communities. Thousands of 3Mers participate through 3Mgives volunteer programs, mentoring students and youth, serving on nonprofit boards, and helping people in need around the world.

Our flagship skills-based service program, 3M Impact, gives 3Mers the opportunity to travel to a different country, where they spend two immersive weeks collaborating with a local nonprofit organization or social enterprise to contribute to a solution for a pressing social or environmental issue.
