In the Community

At Marakon, we take great pride in the fact that over 90% of our employees get involved with a community service initiative or pro bono projects. In recent years, our consultants and staff have dedicated thousands of hours annually to volunteering worldwide. Participation is strongly encouraged.

Some of our larger pro bono projects in recent years have included work with the National Museum of Science and Industry in London, the Stanford University Alumni Association in Palo Alto, the Kellogg School of Management in Chicago and Battery Dance Company in New York. Examples of our community involvement in each region can be found below:
