“If you are a company with an established corporate citizenship program, a question you could ask yourself is how to take the next step in your program so that you are meeting those changing needs…. This year, we looked at what was happening with school violence, and since we are heavily involved in security, we decided to expand our efforts to help underserved schools amp up their security systems.”

Convergint’s STEP Up Program

The safety of children heading off to school each morning is of deep concern to the colleagues at Convergint. For that reason, Convergint created its STEP Up initiative to help strengthen security in K-12 schools. This program was launched on June 8, 2018 with experienced colleagues going out into their local communities and providing 8 underserved schools with interior and exterior security systems installations, security upgrades, and security assessments.
