Giving Back

Helios believes strongly in giving back to our community. We understand that it is a privilege to be a productive member of the communities in which we work and live. In addition to participating in company-sponsored events, Helios team members donate their own time and resources to support those in need, as well as enlist the support of their families and friends through organized and team-based activities.

Through volunteer efforts, Helios has provided sustained support to many organizations within the Washington metro area, including:

Participation in food drives, walks for the homeless and coat drives for those supported by Reston Interfaith - a non-profit organization serving Northern Virginia that promotes self-sufficiency for those in need of food, shelter and affordable housing. Through the support of clients, colleagues and family, the Helios team has donated over 5,000 coats to date for the annual winter coat drive.

Sponsorship and volunteer time in support of Northern Virginia Family Services’ CARE (Companies as Responsive Employers) Awards.

Reston Interfaith and the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce have named Helios as a “2009 Best of Reston” winner for the tremendous effort put forth in their commitment to community services and improving the lives of others.

Helios provides pro bono resume writing and interviewing skills workshops for the SkillSource Center throughout the year. Attendees are coached on creating their first resume or updating their existing one, and also participate in mock interviews.
