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. It is an easy way to volunteer in the community without having to volunteer on your own or navigate finding potential sites on your own. The agenda for a day of service looks like this:
- Check-In @ MCSC Black Box Theater (9:00-9:15 AM)
- Kick-off with Keynote Speaker in MCSC Black Box Theater (9:15 AM - 10:00 AM)
- Travel to Service Sites (10:00 AM - 10:30 AM) - some sites are within walking distance, some may require you to drive yourself - read the details for each site!
- Service (10:30 AM - 12:30 PM - two hours)
- Travel back to campus! (12:30 PM - 1:00 PM)
- Reflection & Closing (1:00-2:00 PM)
You should register to attend the Check-In & Kick-off, ONE service site, and the Reflection & Closing. You will receive 4 hours of verified volunteer credit for each day of service you attend this year!
Transportation to volunteer sites may or may not be provided but there are some sites within walking distance or on campus. Be sure to read all of the details before choosing your service "shift" or site. Some sites have specific dress requirements or online volunteer forms that must be completed before you participate. Should you have any questions please feel free to reach out to Alex Dennis, Senior Assistant Director in the Center for Leadership & Civic Engagement - dennisa15@ecu.edu
All participants will receive a snack bag to take with them during service. Masks may be required by your service site to participate and all current university and community partner COVID-19 guidelines will be followed.
