Community Volunteerism

Over 50,000 strong, Qwest employees are passionate about enriching and strengthening the diverse communities we serve. Our Spirit of Service is demonstrated everyday by actively engaging in the community as volunteers, board members and good corporate citizens. Through this engagement, our commitment extends far beyond financial support.

Qwest Pioneers

Qwest Pioneers are people just like you. They are current and retired employees of Qwest who are committed to making a difference by donating their time and talents to meaningful community service projects.
