Seeking the common good, Telmex volunteers donate their time and talents to private and public welfare institutions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), communities and groups that support vulnerable populations.

This Volunteer Network is formed by TELMEX employees, their families and general society, supporting the work done in nursing homes, orphanages, prisons and institutions with educational activities.

Furthermore, volunteers disseminate information on organ and tissue donation in institutions that request it, as part of Heroes for Life campaign; they also deliver credentials in the events of “Racing to change lives” (Corriendo para Cambiar Historias) to people who have registered as volunteer tissue and organ donors, among many other activities. Also, their work and selfless service is invaluable in the aid program for natural disasters.
