InScope’s approach to “Giving Back as We Grow” is primarily through our time and energy. Each quarter, our InService program sponsors a service project for InScope employees to attend. Projects in the past and that are planned include: food preparation at DC Central Kitchen, property maintenance at Fisher House, and home construction through Habitat for Humanities. Typically, our employess give of themselves beyond these InService days, representing InScope proudly as they volunteer at organizations such as:
- Ambleside School International: Ambleside Schools International (ASI) is an affiliation of private schools devoted to the method of English educator Charlotte Mason. InScope’s CEO, Mike Bruce is Chairman of Ambleside School of Herndon and sits on the Advisory Board of ASI.
- Carnegie Mellon Advisory Council: Carnegie Mellon’s College of Engineering is a top ten engineering college offering graduate and undergraduate degree programs. InScope's CEO, Mike Bruce, is a member of the College of Engineering Advisory Council. The Council consists of alumni spanning the College's five-decade history, and provides guidance and feedback on strategic planning and development.
- DC Central Kitchen (DCCK): InScope employees joined the staff and other volunteers at DCCK to help prepare 4,000 meals in a single day. DC Central Kitchen was formed in 1989 to provide training, jobs, and nourishment to underserved populations in the metropolitan DC area.
- Fisher House: Fisher House is an organization that provides housing for military families while their beloved troops are in the hospital. For InScope, volunteering with Fisher House means uniting our corporate mission of warfighter support with our community initiative. InScope spent an InService day at the Fisher House in spring 2010, helping with yard work, storage maintenance and organization among other needs at the time.
- Jubilee Housing: Jubilee Housing was founded in 1973 to provide affordable housing and supportive services to economically disadvantaged residents. For InScope, volunteering during the Jubilee Workday every September brings our work we engage in with affordable housing into perspective.
- Our Daily Bread: Our Daily Bread identifies and addresses the unmet fundamental needs of Fairfax area residents and empowers the community to help our neighbors maintain self-sufficiency. Over Thanksgiving, 2010, over 25 employees gave their time to deliver Thanksgiving meals to local families.
- Small and Emerging Contractors Advisory Forum (SECAF): SECAF is the premier organization for the small and emerging government contractor, and the only organization providing a voice to this community. InScope’s CEO, Mike Bruce, is a SECAF board member and Chair of the Legislative and Advocacy committee.
- So Others Might Eat (S.O.M.E.): S.O.M.E. is an organization based in Washington DC that is working to meet the most basic needs of the homeless and poor in the city, as well as equip them to make lifestyle changes. Because InScope wants to give back to our immediate community, a group of employees went into the city for an InService day to prepare and serve breakfast and lunch for a group of homeless men and women at the S.O.M.E. Food Kitchen.
