º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½

º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Cares Day of Action returns with both virtual and in-person* volunteer opportunities this Fall! Taking place on Friday, September 18th, 2020 from 10am to 2pm, this valuable day of hands-on volunteering will introduce and expose º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½dents to Fredericton's community organizations and partners.

Traditionally known as a day where º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½dents: (a) head out to learn about a local community organization; and (b) engage in hands-on volunteer work to support the organization, º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Cares aspires to nurture a meaningful bond of learning and volunteering between º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½dents and the community.

Nevertheless, as planners of the event this year under COVID-19 restrictions, our goal is to capture the same º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ spirit of service. Using these circumstances as an opportunity to design an enhanced and enriching experience for all, the Experiential Office aims to create a º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Cares event that encourages students to become regular volunteers with organizations in their community.

º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Cares will be a combination of separate virtual and in-person* events this year. Both are concurrent (10am to 2pm), and both remain as excellent ways to meet new friends; engage with a community organization in Fredericton; make a difference; and explore current/future volunteer and career opportunities.

Should you choose to participate in º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Cares Day of Action 2020, organizations that you might work with include: The Ville Cooperative, the Multicultural Association of Fredericton, Sexual Violence New Brunswick, and more.

*NOTE: Due to COVID-19 restrictions, keep in mind that there will be limited spots for the in-person event. Thus, if needed, selection may be based on one's indicated level/areas of interest.

The registration deadline is Monday, September 14th, 2020, or when all spaces are filled.
