Give Back Volunteer Fair w/ Community Market
October 8 at 9:30 am - 1:30 pm
Interested in learning about different (fun!) ways to get involved and give back to the community? Looking to buy/sell local produce, food, and artisan goods? Join us on October 8 in the Central Courtyard for an exciting mash-up of the Give Back Volunteer Fair and Community Market!
Community partners from both on and off campus will have tables set up to showcase the variety of volunteer opportunities they offer, and are looking for passionate and caring students who would like to get involved.
Community and street vendors will also be selling produce, food items, jewelry, and other artisan goods. Students, staff, and faculty are welcome to showcase a project, initiative, club, or more to the campus community.
What is expected of you as an attendee?
No expectations! This event is free, open to anyone, and on a drop-in basis from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm. You may simply look around at the stalls and volunteer programs available, or decide to engage with vendors and community partners that pique your interest, according to your level of comfort. Feel free to stop by the Community Service Learning (CSL) Program table to say hi, learn more about upcoming opportunities, or get a helpful nudge to speak to present community partners!
