2026 Annual GSU Cares @ GSU: Mindful Mural Painting Project

Join Georgia State alumni, faculty, staff, and students for a hands‑on service project at GSU’s Student Center—featuring the creation of a community mural on campus. This volunteer opportunity is part of a broader effort to beautify GSU’s campus while bringing people together through art.

Step into an immersive, collaborative, and therapeutic mural‑making experience designed to spark community, connection, and creativity. Each session begins with 10 minutes of Mindful Mural Preparation, helping participants set personal intentions, ground themselves, and tap into the calming, restorative power of art. Afterward, volunteers will head to the mural site to bring the design to life through vibrant, collective painting.

No experience is needed. All materials are provided—just bring your curiosity, your creativity, and your willingness to connect. Be part of something beautiful.

Please meet in Student Center East, Room 217 at the start of your shift before walking together to the mural site near Saxbys.

*Please only sign up for one shift.
