Volunteer with us

Xylem employees and partners make meaningful contributions to their communities through our signature events & turn-key volunteer opportunities.

Grab a trash bag and plog

At Xylem, plogging is part of our culture. Grab gloves, a bag, and sneakers to help keep our communities and waterways clean by picking up litter as you jog or walk.
Put the world's vulnerable communities on the map with Missing Maps

Help update vital info on vulnerable communities hit by disasters. Aid groups rely on these maps. Join a Mapathon solo or with coworkers using your phone or computer.
Build a water filter

Xylem teams up with Wine to Water to send filters to areas in need. Volunteers learn about water filtration while assembling filters that help communities access clean water.
EarthEcho water challenge testing kits

If you’re a Xylem employee or partner, apply for water testing kits from our sponsor EarthEcho. These kits provide students with a hands-on water testing experience.
Protect your watershed challenge
