Turner’s history of community outreach goes back more than 40 years to the days when major projects in urban areas were carried out with little community involvement. Turner made its presence known, stayed visible, and forged links with the community. Subsequently, Turner produced a nationally renowned community affairs program that has garnered numerous national awards. We participate in and sponsor a variety of programs at the local level from Rebuilding Together San Diego to collecting toys for Toys for Tots at all our jobsites, and we continue to support and develop national initiatives such as YouthForce 2020, the Ace Mentor program, and the Turner School of Construction Management. For the last three years, Turner has been named one of diversitybusiness.com’s Top 50 Organizations for Multicultural Business Opportunities. The list, known as the Div50, includes organizations selected through an online survey of more than 1.2 million woman and minority-owned businesses across many market sectors. The chosen companies and organizations distinguish themselves by establishing and maintaining the most mutually beneficial relationships with diversity suppliers and subcontractors.
