Employee Volunteer Program
The purpose of PalomarWealth’s volunteer program is to support volunteer activities that enhance and serve the communities in which we live and work. The intention of this program is to create community engagement opportunities for our employees that are meaningful, purposeful and address issues that impact quality of life. At the same time, we recognize that participating in these activities will also enrich and inspire the lives of our employees. ‘Community’ is not defined as just local community but may encompass a global perspective. Each employee receives a paid day every quarter to volunteer.
