Volunteering
Lab employees donate their time and talent to a wide variety of volunteer organizations that make a positive impact in their communities. Whether it’s through participating in blood drives, volunteering at their local Fire Department, donating to a clothing or food drive, building a home through Habitat for Humanity, or helping to clean a beach, Brookhaven’s employees are neighbors helping neighbors around the Lab.

Comunity Service Letters
Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Community Engagement Office provides community service letters that confirm Lab employees (and in some cases their teenage children) have participated in verified community and/or charitable activities associated with a Lab purpose or program. To request a letter, contact Amy Engel. Requests may take up to three weeks to process.
