Rockcorps

RockCorps is a pro-social marketing and entertainment company that uses music to inspire people to take action by volunteering and getting involved in their community. RockCorps' principal idea is "Give, Get Given”. They do this by producing concerts with exclusive entry tied to participating in a 4 hour community volunteer project. To date, over 180,000 volunteers have attended more than 50 live concert events, giving over 700,000 hours to volunteering at more than 2,600 global charities.

The company was founded in 2003 and partnered in 2005 with Boost Mobile in the US. RockCorps has also partnered with brands such as Orange, and BT in the UK and France, Optus in Australia and Coca-Cola in South Africa. RockCorps' latest project is Apprentice Nation, which raises awareness of the apprenticeship scheme in the UK as an alternative route to university. It also provides young people with the skills they need to be successful in their early careers.

RockCorps has featured artists such as Rihanna, David Guetta, Lady Gaga, Drake, Pharrell Williams, Fifth Harmony, Kanye West, Ellie Goulding, 6LACK, Snoop Dogg, Maroon 5, and Vampire Weekend.
