Project Serve: a day in the life.
On Saturday morning (don’t worry, not too early – just at 10:00 a.m.) we meet on campus. You’ll enter the room following the scent of coffee, tea, and …let’s say muffins, set out for you to enjoy while you mingle. After getting to know each other a bit, we chat about the day’s events and schedule. Soon after, you grab your bagged lunch and hop on the big yellow school bus!
In the early afternoon, after spending time with your community organization (which you get to select from a list we’ll give you later – we pick from your top three), the bus comes to get you and we all head back to campus together.
Back in the classroom we discuss the day’s adventures – who went where and did what – over afternoon snacks. After that? Well, you’re free to go as of 5:00 p.m.… but there may be a surprise to follow (also free). We’ll let you know as soon as we can!
The day’s program finishes and you go home, secure in the knowledge that you’ve just met some great people, gotten to know a bit more about our community and the ways you can get involved, and built up experience for your résumé.
It’s a beautiful day, eh?
