Earth Day of Service

Saturday, April 17th, 2021 from 10:00am to 12:00pm

About

Earth Day of Service is the final day of service that the Center for Leadership & Civic Engagement offers each year. Celebrate planet Earth through community service projects, with most focused on environmental conservation, education, and restoration.  

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!
Only current ECU students, faculty, or staff can sign up to volunteer.

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