WABI covers volunteer effort by Upward Bound students
WABI (Channel 5) reported on volunteer work by Upward Bound students from the University of Maine July 26. The students partnered with Welcome to Housing Home Goods Bank and stood outside Shaw’s in Bangor asking shoppers to donate items, with the goal to fill an entire U-Haul van. “I was really looking for ways to expand the definition of community service, to include ways that we can all become better citizens,” Robyn Young, a graduate assistant working with Upward Bound, told WABI. “Things like this are really skills that are going to allow our young people to move forward in the world, thinking about our interconnectedness and what makes us better and stronger together.”
