That's why we offer each member of the AOL team the opportunity to stand out as we contribute to our corporation's overall mission. Our goal is to connect, inform and entertain people everywhere in innovative ways that will enrich their lives. Already, AOL is the world's largest online community. And this is just the beginning.

By laying a foundation of caring and giving inside AOL, we contribute to building a better world outside our company. Through our community relations efforts, we open opportunities and improve the quality of life for children and families, with an emphasis on locations where AOL employees live and work. Every AOL employee is encouraged to participate in meaningful volunteer activities that reflect their civic values and passions. Our strong corporate belief in education and the Internet extends beyond our company through programs that enhance skill development and improve access to online services for disadvantaged children and their families. In all we do, we promote peace, tolerance and appreciation for diverse cultures and perspectives.







Ever wonder what's behind the unbeatable services and features that AOL offers its millions of members every day? Look no further than the people of AOL. Our employees are among the best and the brightest around, working together as a team while making a difference, growing and having fun.

In order to attract and retain the very best people, we made a corporate commitment to develop a work culture that ensures excellence in all we do. We strive to both support and foster the individuality of each of our employees because we believe that a single idea from one individual can shape a company's direction and change the world for the better.

Some of the many ways we promote a positive work environment and corporate culture include the following:

• Career Development
  
• Family Initiatives
  
• Workforce Diversity
