The 19th Annual ASU Cares Day will be held on Saturday, Sept. 21. ³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø students, faculty and staff are invited to volunteer at project sites around the San Luis Valley.
Civic groups and nonprofits may request volunteers for short-term projects that assist them in meeting a need. Projects typically range from four to six hours in duration and have included work such as building a house in Alamosa, harvesting a community garden in Antonito, trail work in Penitente Canyon, and cataloguing museum items in Del Norte.
Early submissions have an increased chance of being filled.
ASU Cares serves as a kick-off to more ongoing and meaningful connections between the University and San Luis Valley community throughout the year. While many students are involved in short-term volunteerism, there are also faculty who partner with community organizations for student service-learning connected to coursework and internships that provide work experience for career development.
To submit a project proposal for ASU Cares Day, email civicengagement@adams.edu or call 719-587-8105.
