| I like to argue that I have the greatest job at Southwest Airlines, but I’m finding that so many of my Co-workers here think the same thing about their positions. I'm on the Community Relations Team and I find great joy in seeking out opportunities for Southwest to Share the Spirit in the communities it serves through charitable partnerships, volunteerism and community programming. As you may discover from my posts, I LUV to talk about the amazing achievements of Southwest’s volunteers and community involvement initiatives. | |

Tickets for Time and New Volunteer Database |
 |
Wow! Thank you all for your generous out pouring of excitement about the Tickets for Time program! We’re proud to support our Employee volunteers and the nonprofit organizations where they serve. We’ve loved reading about your wonderful organizations that are making a difference in our communities every day. With so many deserving nonprofit organizations out there, our Employees are encouraged to seek out causes that are close to their hearts. The tradition of volunteerism at Southwest has always been grassroots in nature; and we’re confident that the organizations that benefit from this program will be as diverse, unique and exceptional as the Southwest Employees who serve with them.
In addition to the Tickets for Time program, Southwest provides direct support to various qualified 501(c)(3)nonprofit organizations, particularly those that fall within our areas of focus: Families Facing Serious Illness, Military and their Families, Youth Leadership and Community Involvement, Disaster Preparedness and Response, and the Environment. Unfortunately, our policies prohibit our sponsorship or endorsement of individuals’ fundraising campaigns. If you are a part of a nonprofit organization and would like to request a donation, visit www.southwest.com/donations.
Keep on keepin' on, Friends! Together we can make a difference in this world.

"Tickets for Time." It just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? Tickets for Time (T4T) is more than a kitschy catchphrase, it’s the name of Southwest’s newest program for Employee volunteers. Go ahead; say it. "Tickets for Time." Now try it with a Texas accent and you’ve just done an impersonation of me. Categories: Southwest Culture, Working at Southwest Feb 08, 2010 |

Some of you may have seen our tv ads recently talking about our Southwest's involvement in our communites. And I don't mean just the communities we serve--I mean all of the communities that Southwest Employees live in. Unlike other airlines, Southwest has Employees that reside in every single city we serve, and at the same time we live in a lot of communities that Southwest doesn't even |
