SCSU Service Opportunities

If you missed the Day of Service, here are 2 other SCSU Service Opportunities:


1. We are interested in finding volunteers who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty! On October 19th between 9:30am and 1pm we will be gardening at Common Ground High School in order to help close down their garden for the season. Common Ground produces on average about 7,000 pounds of fresh produce which in turn provides free school lunch to all of their students. In addition to feeding their students with locally grown ingredients, Common Grounds shares a portion of what they grow with low income residents in the community. Join us for a day of involvement. Vans will leave from the Student Center’s ground floor by 9:50am sharp. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. Sign up for this trip will be available at the FYE Department office. Please note that space is limited and only the first 20 students will be guaranteed a spot on the van.

2. We are also looking for volunteers who don't mind being a little spooky and love working with children! On October 29th, the New Haven Police Department is looking for SCSU students to volunteer with handing out candy to kids in the community. This event will be held at 6pm and take place in the Westville Substation (329 Valley Street, New Haven.) The substation is within walking distance of SCSU and this service project will provide children with the ability to go trick or treating in a safe, well lit area. If interested, please contact Sergeant Renee Forte for more information about how you can help out on this day. Her email is rforte@newhavenct.net
