As an example of the company's commitment to education, engineers and technicians visit local schools to make classroom career presentations, help students with science projects, and teach school instructors about the skills students need to succeed in a high tech career. One of the company's most significant contributions to the community was its leadership in creating the Roseville Volunteer Collaborative, which combines human and financial resources from local businesses and organizations for large community volunteer projects. The Blazers Community Builders program, the league's first formal employee volunteer program of its kind, mobilizes employees to volunteer in health, education, and sports programs for youngsters living in neighborhoods surrounding the Blazers Rose Garden Arena. Office staff, team members, coaches, fans, sponsors, and broadcast affiliates volunteer for projects, including hosting an annual dinner for thousands of Portland's homeless and reading to children at local Head Start programs. Since the inception of the program in August 1998, Blazer employees have contributed more than 4,000 volunteer hours.
Employees serve as volunteer mentors and tutors to the students.
