Community Engagement
QTS connects the world with purpose, not just through our innovative data centers, but through our community programs. In line with our core values, we engage in a wide range of volunteer opportunities, community outreach and community partnerships to help others in need in the U.S. and around the globe.
Community Pillars
As a conscientious, purpose-driven organization, we engage the community with our best-in-class standards for site development, construction and operations.
As community partners, we bring an ecosystem of jobs, tax revenue and economic development tailored to the community’s needs.
As stewards of the environment, we prioritize carbon-free energy sources, water conservation and sustainable practices.
As caring citizens, we contribute time, talent and resources to local programs and agencies to enrich our communities and help improve lives.
QTS lives out our value of Faith, Family and Community Volunteerism by offering site-based and company-wide volunteer opportunities year-round. Every employee gets four paid volunteer days. QTS’s Matching Gifts Program also amplifies employees’ personal donations to eligible nonprofits.
