For 25 years, 3M has honored employees who help shape their communities through service. On September 12th, fifteen 3M volunteers, including Junior League of Saint Paul (JLSP) member Rachelle McCord, were recognized at the 3M Volunteer Rally for their outstanding efforts.
Rachelle was nominated for the prestigious 3M Community Volunteer award for coordinating a mentoring program with 3M employees and students at the Johnson and Harding Saint Paul Senior High Schools. She is also very active in the community, both as a six-year member of JLSP and with her sorority Delta Sigma Theta’s Alumnae chapter, which provides annual scholarships for college, an enrichment program for junior and senior high school girls, and social action for underrepresented communities.
Rachelle shared that she is motivated to give back because “volunteering is in my blood. My parents were community workers when I grew up and always taught me the importance of helping others with no expectation or desire of return.”
Along with recognition as an outstanding community volunteer, the 3M Foundation donated $1,000 to a non-profit of each award recipient’s choice. Rachelle has chosen JLSP as the recipient of this donation.
Congratulations Rachelle, for the recognition of your exceptional work in serving the community!
