Fluor employees make a difference volunteering in their communities.

Fluor Cares®, Fluor's formal employee volunteer program, is the heart of the company's community involvement efforts. Started in 1976 by J. Robert Fluor, the program engages and empowers employees to make a difference in their communities, magnifying and extending Fluor's philanthropic impact. Last year, employees volunteered more than 52,000 hours to help enrich the lives of those in their communities through Fluor's focus areas of education, social services, community and economic development and the environment.

Year after year, Fluor employees give their time, money, energy and support to enrich the lives of those in their community in need of a little extra help, support and encouragement. Global volunteer initiatives include:
