Corporate Group Day of Service

Corporate groups may participate together as a part of a company volunteer initiative or team building activity. Day of Service projects typically last from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and include lunch. Service projects include campus groundskeeping, small improvement and construction projects, painting, gardening, and cleaning.
