One Million Minutes of Real-World Impact

Every employee at Arm receives a paid half-day each month to volunteer for a cause that matters to them. Through Team Arm, our global volunteering and community engagement program, people are empowered to give back in ways that reflect their own values, whether that’s mentoring students, restoring ecosystems, delivering food support, or sharing technical skills with nonprofits.

This year, more than 3,300 Arm employees have used that time to take action, turning a regular monthly benefit into something remarkable.

But this wasn’t just about individuals using their monthly half-day in isolation. It was teams giving up their weekends for causes they care about. It was volunteering built into internal events, like The Big Picture, Arm’s onboarding experience where new joiners are introduced to Team Arm through hands-on community service from day one.

It is also about people using their technical expertise to create lasting value. Many chose to volunteer their engineering skills, mentoring nonprofits, advising mission-driven startups, or helping to solve complex global problems using technology. Volunteering has become an opportunity for Arm employees to apply their knowledge in new purpose-driven ways, beyond their day-to-day roles.

“It was fast paced, a little hectic at times, and such a meaningful way to give back together as a team.”

During the campaign, participation rose by 159%, and total time given increased by 89%. More than just metrics, those numbers represent people showing up with energy, intention, and a shared belief that their work, inside and outside the office, should have a meaningful impact.

“I feel honored to be part of this fantastic team and the environment that encourages us to contribute to the betterment of the world.”

— Parveen, Team Arm volunteer for over eight years

We are excited to carry this momentum forward because volunteering here isn't just about hitting one million minutes. It's part of the Arm experience, month after month, everywhere we operate.

Bringing Values to Life

At Arm, we believe in doing things that scale, whether it’s our technology or our global impact. Volunteering is one way we embody our 10x Mindset: aiming not just for incremental improvement, but for transformation.

That mindset came to life during the One Million Minutes campaign. People met and exceeded the goal because they believed in the impact it could have. They gave their time, rallied their teams, and brought others along for the journey.

Volunteering has become part of how people experience life at Arm. It builds momentum, fosters trust, and deepens the connection between colleagues, communities, and purpose.

And when that purpose is combined with technical expertise, the impact accelerates. For many colleagues, volunteering was a chance to apply their engineering mindset to real-world challenges, utilizing their skills to support underserved communities, develop digital tools for social good, and mentor the next generation of problem solvers.
