ÎçÒ¹av Cares Day of Action
Every year, ÎçÒ¹av holds a volunteering event called the 'ÎçÒ¹av Cares Day of Action.' This year, the event will take place on Saturday, September 21 with non-profit organizations around Fredericton.
ÎçÒ¹av Cares is a meaningful way for both new and returning students to connect with the Fredericton community and gain volunteering and hands-on experience.
ÎçÒ¹av 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 ÎçÒ¹av Cares include poverty, food security, environmental preservation, housing, violence prevention, youth health, and community building.
This year’s event is planned to be fully in-person. Students will spend approximately two hours working with their assigned community organization, and then conclude with group reflection activities and a skills articulation workshop upon their return to campus. Food and snacks will be provided for the day for all ÎçÒ¹avdents attending.
Volunteering at this event counts as 7 volunteer hours towards the community engagement portion of ÎçÒ¹av’s Certificate in Experiential Learning & Community Engagement.
