A Thousand Volunteers

Posted on June 28th, 2010 by admin in center of volunteers | 1 Comment »

Over one thousand Tulane University students hit the streets of New Orleans on Saturday, Sept. 1 to volunteer as part of “Outreach Tulane,” a variety of day-long projects in various neighborhoods of New Orleans.

Students coordinated projects with over twenty community groups, including the Louisiana SPCA, Habitat for Humanity, Second Harvest Food Bank of Greater New Orleans and Acadian, Project Lazarus, City Park, Communities in Schools, the Green Project, Malta Park Assisted Living Facility, Beacon of Hope Resource Center, and more. Volunteers gathered bright and early on Newcomb Quad of the uptown campus and were bused to service agencies around the city.

It was the largest single day of community service for our students, faculty and staff. Activities included painting public schools, general cleaning and yard work, cutting fabric squares to make beds for animals, socializing with elderly residents, sorting and packaging food and other donations, building a Habitat home, and picking up trash and debris.

Public service is a graduation requirement at Tulane.
