Volunteer

At CL&P, we're committed to the communities and people we serve in all corners of Connecticut. There are many environments throughout Connecticut where CL&P employees help out. And we'd like for you to join us to make our state an even better place to live, work and raise a family.

We're especially proud to be the title sponsor for the Special Olympics Connecticut Winter Games. The cross-country skiing and snowshoeing venue has been hosted at our Simsbury office since 1991. In 2009, over 800 volunteers worked at the two-day competition. If you'd like to become a Winter Games volunteer for the 2010 Games, please call 1-800-443-6105 , ext. 224.

Other Volunteer Opportunities

Hundreds of CL&P employees take the time to give back to the communities where they live and work. We have employees who volunteer as firefighters, scout leaders, tutors and coaches. Others are active on boards of education, alumni associations and chambers of commerce. Many are members of lodges, PTOs and theater groups. Some volunteers have helped raise money for annual appeals and special projects such as the March of Dimes, Walk for Autism, the American Heart Association and more. Employees have raised money for the Governor's Coalition for Youth with Disabilities Scholarship and have made generous donations to other organizations such as the Little Angels program, Operation Button Up, as well as numerous holiday food and toy drives.

Employees also participate in the United Way Day of Caring to help nonprofit agencies and organizations landscape, paint, organize files, clean windows and prepare meals, while some of our employees have helped build homes for Habitat for Humanity.
