Gen team members support their communities through partnerships, volunteering and discounted products
Our culture of giving is a fundamental part of the way we operate at Gen. No matter where they are in the world, our team members come together for the shared purpose of making a positive impact in their local communities. This spirit of service is especially apparent at our offices in Czechia.
In addition to partnerships with organizations like Eduzměna, which works to expand access to quality education in the country, Avast products are discounted for nonprofits in need. We also maintain thriving volunteer programs, connecting team members with service opportunities both in and out of the office.
Advancing Quality Education
The education system in Czechia faces several challenges. In 2023, the Czech School Inspectorate found that its primary schools consistently fail to engage their students, and a 2024 study from the SYRI National Institute reported that
The organization aims to create Education Support Centres (ESC) across the country that will improve students' educational results and standardize the quality of education that is available to them. The first ESC is due to open in 2025 as a pilot project in Kutná Hora, which will engage students, families, principals, teachers and school founders at nearly 60 schools.
Eduzměna works directly with schools to provide activities for students, professional development for teachers and strategic support for administrators. The organization also establishes a communication network across the region, facilitating effective coordination between schools, as well as best practice sharing. Following the successful implementation of the ESC in Kutná Hora, Eduzměna plans to scale these plans across four additional regions in the coming years: České Budějovice, Turnovsko, Přešticko-Blovicko and Šumpersko-Zábřežsko.
