The new volunteer program seeks to build a sustained relationship with the José María Caro Home. Through education and recreation, the initiative aims to have a real impact on the community and the organizational culture.
In the framework of the anniversary of the Central Securities Depository (DCV), the relaunch of the corporate volunteer program was announced, with a strategic shift toward sustainability and long-term commitment. This new phase is articulated through a partnership with the José María Caro Children’s Home Corporation, located in La Pintana, managed in conjunction with the Juntos por la Infancia Foundation.
Unlike previous experiences, characterized by specific, short-term actions, this initiative seeks to establish a constant, ongoing, and permanent connection. The focus will be on two fundamental pillars: educational development and meaningful recreation for children and adolescents living in the home.

The difference is that this isn’t a one-off campaign. What we’re building is a long-term volunteer strategy, with clear goals, planned actions, and a deep purpose. “We want to contribute to transforming the life of at least one child, and we know that this goal also transforms ours as an organization,” explains Erika Barrios, leader of Culture and Organizational Development at DCV.
Over the past year, activities such as school campaigns, Christmas parties, Children’s Day celebrations, and winter campaigns have already been developed. The challenge now is to consolidate a three-year plan with systematic actions, including educational workshops, job placement support, and recreational activities that foster skills and emotional bonds among the children in the home.



“We are convinced that our contribution to the community must be sustained over time. It’s not just an act of solidarity: it’s a concrete expression of our ethical culture and our commitment to sustainability,” adds Erika Barrios.
Corporate volunteering not only seeks to positively impact the children’s home, but also to strengthen the sense of belonging and purpose among DCV employees. As Erika Barrios states, “the volunteers who have participated have felt that this also contributes to their own lives. It’s a grounding ground, a space to connect with what’s essential.”
