8:30 AM to 2:30 PM
Fredericton (Various off-campus locations)
Every year, º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ holds a full day volunteering event called the 'º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Cares Day of Action.' º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Cares is a meaningful way for both incoming and returning students to connect with the Fredericton community and gain volunteering skills with hands-on learning opportunities.
º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Cares prioritizes local support while also offering students ways to connect with peers who are passionate about important causes. The event helps foster a relationship between learning and volunteering, and many of our event partners offer the chance to continue volunteering in a more consistent capacity.
Past issues addressed during º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Cares include poverty, food security, environmental preservation, homelessness, domestic violence, youth, and community building.
Students will spend approximately two hours working with their assigned community organization and then conclude with a relaxed group reflection event delivered by the United Way of Central New Brunswick to wind down the evening.
Food and snacks will be provided for the day for all º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½dents attending.
Volunteering at this event counts as volunteer hours towards the community engagement portion of º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½’s Certificate in Experiential Learning & Community Engagement.
(Use your º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ login to access the form)
Registration deadline is Monday, September 12 at 4 p.m. Registration capped at 45 students on a first come, first served basis.
