Wilbert Cares is our commitment to making a difference in the community where we live and the industries in which we operate. It is fundamental to who we are as individuals and what we want our company to be. Wilbert Cares makes us proud to work at The Wilbert Group.

There are three categories for Wilbert Cares:
-
We value hands-on volunteering. We bond as a team while doing meaningful work. We have volunteered for the Atlanta Community Food Bank, Atlanta Humane Society, Open Hand Atlanta, Lost-n-Found, Atlanta Children's Day Shelter and City of Refuge, among others.
-
We also are committed to playing a positive role in our industry. We are involved with the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), including planning events and working on committees. In recent years we have strengthened our fellowship program for recent college graduates. Many full-time employees at Wilbert started as either interns or fellows. In 2021, we increased the pay for our fellows, ensuring it would be accessible for candidates no matter their financial situation. We also broadened the number of universities where we have active relationships, allowing us to attract a more diverse pool of applicants.
-
Finally we are involved in the nonprofits that support commercial real estate - important since we have many clients in the industry. As an example, team members at Wilbert hold leadership positions and volunteer their time at our local Urban Land Institute (ULI) and NAIOP chapters.
