Project Serve is an annual one-day event to help us connect with our wider community here in Saskatoon! You can make a difference in our community (gain some experience for your classes or your resumé) and still be home in time for supper/dinner/whichever-one-you-call-it!

Pretty basic, huh? For a bit more detail, read on.
Project Serve: a day in the life.
On Saturday morning (don’t worry, not too early – just at 10:00 a.m.) our day begins. You’ll enter the room and mingle with all the other wonderful participants. After getting to know each other a bit, we chat about the day’s events and schedule. Soon after, we'll head out to our placements!
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), we all meet up again.
Back together, we discuss the day’s adventures – who went where and did what kind of awesomeness. After that? Well, you’re free to go as of 5:00 p.m. :).
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 resumé.
It’s a beautiful day, eh?
