Alkermes in Action 2025

One day of each of the last 17 years, Team Alkermes volunteers have taken part in our “Alkermes in Action” employee-led volunteer program. This day of service provides our teams with the opportunity to support organizations whose values align with ours and share our commitment to improving the communities where we live and work. Beyond the great science we pursue on behalf of patients every day, we are committed to being a positive force across our locations in Massachusetts, Ohio and Ireland.

This year, more than 300 volunteers from our Waltham office volunteered at 10 organizations across the Greater Boston area. Team Alkermes got to work building beds for children in need, working to support local farm and recreation areas, assembling mental health support kits, among many more activities.

This year alone, Alkermes employees in Massachusetts hand-crafted and donated 150 teen mental health kits, cleared three walking trails at a local park, harvested more than 1,000 quarts of fruit and processed it into frozen fruit for use at a children’s day camp, built 22 beds for children in need and much more.

We were proud to partner with Science Club for Girls, The Wish Project, Trustees of Reservations, Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless, Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, BINA Farm, Project Helping and others to contribute to their important work to support people in need across Massachusetts.

In addition, Waltham employees participated in a food drive throughout the month in support of Daniel’s Table. A friendly competition across floors of the Waltham office resulted in over 2,500 non-perishable donations.

In Ohio, Team Alkermes worked with a local environmental organization to clean trails, supported the Clinton County Humane Society and volunteered with many other organizations, including the Clinton County Youth Council, Clinton County Community Action, Clean Up Wilmington, Hope House and more.

Later this month, Alkermes employees in Ireland will participate in two service projects, spending time cleaning beaches in the Dublin area in coordination with a local conservation organization and helping to paint a school in the Athlone area.

On Team Alkermes, our employees are united by the belief that working together, we can make a positive difference in society. Alkermes in Action helps us bring that belief to life every year.
