Community

Through grass-roots volunteerism and focused corporate giving, CSX is committed to strengthening the bond between our company and the citizens of the towns in which we live and work.

In an ongoing effort to incorporate volunteerism into the day-to-day operation of CSX, new management trainees assisted in renovations to an inner-city structure that now houses The Sanctuary on 8th. A video documenting the transformation of the facility has been entered into the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship Film Festival.

City Year

More than one million students give up on school each year — and 50 percent of those drop outs happen in just 12 percent of schools. CSX is doing our part to combat America’s drop out crisis, by serving as a national leadership sponsor to City Year, an education-focused nonprofit organization that partners with public schools to help keep students in school and on track to graduate.
