UMaine Class of 2015 Seeks Non-Profit Projects for ‘Day of Service’
The Bodwell Center for Service and Volunteerism and First Year Residential Experience are seeking community organizations to participate in the Second Annual UMaine Welcome Weekend Day of Service on the afternoon of Aug. 27.
Occurring on the first weekend that students are at UMaine, the Welcome Weekend Day of Service is an opportunity for some 1,600 first-year UMaine students to participate in volunteer activities at community organizations in the Old Town, Orono and Bangor areas. Led by UMaine students, faculty and staff, first-year students will volunteer at community organizations, while at the same time learning more about the organizations and their missions.
Last year, approximately 800 students volunteered at more than 40 organizations and logged 2,670 hours.
Non-profit organizations in the Old Town/Orono and Bangor area that are interested in participating in the event this year are asked to contact Lauren Wagner or Lisa Morin at the Bodwell Center at 581-1796 or by email at lauren.wagner@umit.maine.edu or lisa.morin@umit.maine.edu before Aug. 1.
