USLI is committed to making a difference through community service, fundraising and volunteering, both locally and globally. Many of our programs focus on coaching, mentoring and building relationships with children and families in the Greater Philadelphia area. We also respond to natural disasters and other tragedies in the U.S. and overseas. Maximizing our efforts is important to us when we take action, so we always engage with our customers to see how we can make an impact together.
Challenge Your Perspective In order to bring about any sort of change or growth, we must first examine our journey to understand how our own experiences have shaped our worldview. How are those viewpoints impacting our day-to-day and thought processes? We can appreciate and respect who we are now, where we came from and what we know without letting our past dictate who we will become. When we willfully challenge our own views and create space for difficult questions and conversations, we grow individually and in turn can share our knowledge and make an impact on others. Each of us has a vital role in being a catalyst for change. We don’t need to change the world, but how can we work to make it a little bit better? What we believe is based on what we know. As we learn more our beliefs should evolve. Understanding where we are — and how we’ve grown — from a diversity, equity and inclusion perspective is a crucial step. Through reflection, education, proximity, adaptability and time, each of us is able to be more intentional with our efforts and contribute to a stronger community

CARE2 FundThe CARE2 Fund was established to give members of the USLI community the opportunity to request donations to charities or causes to which they have personal connections. In 2012, the Fund was reorganized as a 501(c)3 charitable organization and renamed CARE2 Fund at USLI Inc. This allows donors to receive a charitable deduction for their contributions. In 2012, the mission of the CARE2 Fund at USLI Inc. was expanded. The Fund now also serves as a portal for funds raised from the community to support causes selected specifically by the company. This allows our community members to receive receipts for their charitable contributions. |
