"Inspired by the aftermath of 9/11, we, like many others, felt this was a great time for people to pull together, get to know each other, build neighborhoods and have fun doing it. We wanted to figure out a way to work with brands that would channel the power of music and celebrity towards making volunteering a part of youth lifestyle – just like sports, music, fashion and gaming.

"As RockCorps continues in cities throughout the world with cool companies connecting with youth to make volunteering fashionable, we are reminded of how core and universal the desire to give back and have fun really are. And that gets us out of bed in the morning….but not too early.

The company was first founded in America in 2003 and launched in the US in 2005 in partnership with Boost Mobile.
