VOLUNTEER TIME OFF (VTO):
An increasing amount of companies now offer Volunteer Time Off as a perk for employees. Volunteer Time Off, or VTO for short, is a type of benefit where employees get paid time off to do volunteer work. This typically ranges from 8 to 40 hours per year. VTO is a great way for employees to give back to their community without sacrificing a full day's wages. Check with your employer to see if you can help to create positive impact in your school community while benefiting from VTO
