Yale Day of Service

Last year was the first ever global Yale Day of Service. Here in Massachusetts, we had great participation at over 20 different sites. Plans are underway to make this year even better and we could use your help.

Our activities served people in need, brought Yalies together, and helped improve our communities. Last year's efforts by Boston volunteers has evolved into ongoing community service activities at both Excel Academy in East Boston and the Haley School in Roslindale.What a difference a day makes!

Here's how you can help right now

  • Identify an organization or site that you think we should work with
  • Volunteer to organize one activity (most are 3-5 hour projects)
  • Offer to be the on-site person on the day of service
  • Help with ideas and general organization
Please participate by RSVP'ing to us with your ideas.

Thank you!
