Giving back to our community and helping others is a core part of our culture at Stellar. We have a passion for the work we do but we also recognize that life is about more than the business we run. It’s also about what we do outside of work and how we can make a difference in the lives of others. We are always looking for opportunities to contribute and say thank you in ways that go beyond our lives as professionals.

L.A. Works (www.laworks.com) is a volunteer action center that creates and implements hands-on community service projects throughout the greater Los Angeles area. Their mission is focused on empowering Angelenos to address pressing social issues through volunteerism and community collaborations. Our association with L.A. Works spans 5 years and includes several projects. Stellar’s very own Martin Pedersen sits on the Board of Directors and has participated in several volunteer events along with other members of the Stellar team.

World Vision is a humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tacking the causes of poverty and injustice. In 2015, Stellar sponsored 3 young girls in Swaziland, Sri Lanka and the Dominican Republic. We’ve enjoyed corresponding with each of them and learning more about their day to day lives. In 2016, we made a donation to World Vision’s Child Safety Net Project to help communities worldwide reach their full potential by tacking the root causes of exploitation, poverty and injustice. We look forward to continuing our relationship with World Vision in the coming months and years.
