Community

Mentoring - Alexza employees believe strongly in providing career and educational guidance through mentoring programs, like Take Our Children to Work Day, that promote the fields of science, engineering and business.

Community Involvement - Our employees participate in hands-on volunteer activities, such as Habitat for Humanity and other community clean-up/replanting projects, which improve and enhance our local community.

Charitable Giving - We support community-based programs that make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Our employees give to organizations like the Second Harvest Food Bank that provide assistance to low income households, education-based charities such as the Resource Area For Teachers (RAFT) and back-to-school backpack drives, disaster and economic relief funds, and artistic and cultural enrichment.
