Social Responsibility
AAA-ICDR and its employees contribute to society and the communities where we work through various programs, including:
Volunteer Paid Time Off
AAA-ICDR employees are encouraged to volunteer their time and skills to make a difference. We support individual volunteerism with paid time off—up to two days or 15 hours annually--to participate. Employee volunteer projects have included:
- Meals for community kitchens and food pantries.
- Backpacks for the Volunteers of America.
- Toy distribution at children’s hospitals.
- A bake sale for St. Jude’s Hospital and blood drives.
- NYC Heart Run/Walk Event
Philanthropy
The AAA-ICDR frequently matches employee donations to organizations that provide relief efforts to communities and victims of natural and human disasters.
The AAA-ICDR Foundation®
The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization with primary funding from the AAA® and its Roster of Arbitrators and Mediators. Its mission, to support the prevention and resolution of conflicts by expanding access to alternative dispute resolution, aligns with the American Arbitration Association-International Centre for Dispute Resolution® (AAA-ICDR®) which, for nearly a century, has dedicated itself to promoting and improving approaches to alternative dispute resolution.
