Make a Difference Day of Service

Saturday, October 24th, 2020 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm

About

Make a Difference Day of Service is the second of four large days of service that the Center for Leadership & Civic Engagement offers throughout the year. National Make A Difference Day brings community service to a whole new level each year. Organizations join forces on the fourth Saturday in October to make a difference, big or small. Millions of people have united in the common mission to improve the lives of others.

Due to COVID-19, we will NOT be having a large kick-off event but volunteers will sign up for individual service sites and transport themselves to that site. There are some sites that are within walking distance to campus, are taking place on campus, and there are also virtual options available. Each site (shift) will have their own requirements and instructions but all volunteers will be required to wear a mask, which will be provided. Reflection will take place virtually on your own time after you serve. A CLCE staff member will check you in at your service site and provide a snack bag and personal protective equipment (PPE).   
You should only register for ONE service site (shift).
We do NOT do special group sign-ups. If your group wants to serve together then each member must sign up themselves!

Should you have any questions please feel free to reach out to Alex Dennis, Assistant Director in CLCE - dennisa15@ecu.edu.
