Toyota Team Members Volunteering to Make a Difference in Their Communities

Toyota supports its team members as they volunteer their time assisting local communities and organizations. Across its offices, manufacturing plants and dealerships, team members are encouraged to get involved in causes they care about.

From STEM education to fighting fires to youth sports initiatives, Toyota team members lend their time to help others. The company’s official volunteer program, Toyota4Good, provides structure and support for employees to contribute their time and skills in meaningful ways.

For Ben Kasa, a powertrain engineer in Production Engineering at Toyota in Georgetown, Kentucky, that means educating kids in fun and engaging ways. As the president of the Bluegrass chapter of American Business Clubs (AMBUCS), a group that makes adaptive tricycles for children with mobility challenges, Kasa enjoys helping children.

“For many of these kids, their adaptive tricycle provides a new form of mobility,” he says. “There’s something about riding bikes that makes me feel like a kid again, so I want to make sure every kid has the chance to experience that feeling, too.”

Toyota Tennessee Celebrates New State Park

Kids and conservation are the center of a new, $150,000 donation on behalf of Toyota Tennessee. Toyota, the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF) and other community partners kicked off a three-year, $150,000 grant project at one of the Volunteer State’s newest state parks, Middle Fork Bottoms.

The park, which opened in 2022, is an 860-acre floodplain restoration project and officially became a state park in 2024. The funding will support the Tennessee State Parks Conservancy (TSPC) to promote educational programs—including the creation of an outdoor classroom—and to The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to aid in their conservation initiatives. In honor of the new partnership, Toyota and the park hosted 50 elementary school students at the park from the Boys & Girls Club of Jackson.

“Toyota believes in creating a positive impact on society and our planet. There’s no better way to accomplish that than to help local students connect with and learn about our environment and the importance of conservation,” said Todd Williams, president of Toyota Tennessee. “Toyota Tennessee and our 450 team members are excited to have such an incredible park in our community where the young and young at heart can connect with nature.”

Toyota West Virginia Honors Legacy of Fallen Heroes

Earlier this year, a group of volunteers from Toyota West Virginia, Gold Star Mothers, local schools and representatives from the State Department of Agriculture planted native apple trees and grasses.

As the newest feature of Toyota West Virginia’s Biodiversity Trail, this apple orchard will serve as a living memorial to honor post-9/11 fallen U.S. Armed Forces servicemen and women.

Workforce Development & Education

Igniting the Spark of STEM Learning

Imagine if every day at school, students could expand their sense of what’s possible for their futures, show confidence and excitement for the new skills they are building, and prepare to pursue the career opportunities of tomorrow. This is the vision that’s currently being activated across the nation through the Toyota USA Foundation’s Driving Possibilities, Toyota’s signature STEM education and community engagement initiative funded in part by Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) and Toyota Financial Services (TFS).
