Community to Community Day of Action Sign Up Form

As a key component of Orientation, on Friday, September 23, many new Greeners will take part in a community engagement experience. This is your first opportunity at Evergreen to learn in real-life settings through action. Join us to put your muscle, heart, and mind to help meet important needs in our community. Use your education in a purposeful and connected way to get to know local nonprofit community organizations who work toward local solutions for an afternoon of service. Hear about future ways to connect to the issues through your academic programs, internships, and volunteering. Transportation and necessary supplies are provided.
