Community Connectors
Community Connectors, Entergy's employee and retiree volunteer program, is yet another way that Entergy helps non-profit organizations across our service area of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Through Community Connectors, Entergy recruits employees and retirees to serve as volunteers in the communities where they work and live...but that’s not all. The program also recognizes and encourages the volunteers’ efforts by providing grants they can designate to the eligible non-profits of their choice. For every 20 volunteer hours, each employee or retiree earns a $250 grant up to an annual limit of $750.
