VTO with Heart – Keep Indianapolis Beautiful
Jun 09, 2026
At the Gene B. Glick Company, we are committed to enhancing quality of life for our neighbors and giving back to the communities we call home. As part of our corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts, we encourage team members to give back to their communities through volunteerism and empower them to do so through our paid volunteer time off (VTO) program. Our ‘VTO with Heart’ series highlights Glick team members using their VTO to volunteer with organizations close to their hearts.
Keep Indianapolis Beautiful (KIB) is a local nonprofit with a mission to create beautiful public spaces where people and nature can thrive. Volunteers play a big role in the non-profit’s success. Glick team member Cynthia Bourquein regularly volunteers with KIB and is passionate about giving back to her local community.
Cynthia is an active recycler and has adopted a city block for community litter cleanup. Her ongoing support helps keep public spaces safe for both people and wildlife while easing the strain on nearby waterways and drainage systems. We also learned that Cynthia particularly enjoys volunteering in the winter because there are fewer insects and foliage.
We caught up with Cynthia to hear more about her time volunteering.
How does volunteering impact your life?
“Volunteering aligns with my values and my purpose, and gives me a sense of fulfillment. I enjoy giving back to my community in a meaningful way.”
Are there other organizations you like to volunteer at or make impactful contributions to?
“Absolutely!” See Cynthia’s list below:

If you are a Glick team member and want to use your VTO to give back to your community, submit your VTO request via Paylocity. To inspire others, we encourage all team members to log their volunteer time and impact on Selflessly.
