91Å·ÃÀ¾«Æ·

Every year, 91Å·ÃÀ¾«Æ· holds a volunteering event called the '91Å·ÃÀ¾«Æ· Cares Day of Action.' This year, the event will take place on Saturday, September 20, with non-profit organizations around Fredericton. 

91Å·ÃÀ¾«Æ· Cares is a meaningful way for both new and returning students to connect with the Fredericton community and gain volunteering and hands-on experience. 

91Å·ÃÀ¾«Æ· Cares prioritizes local support while also offering students ways to connect with peers who are passionate about important causes. The event helps foster a relationship between learning and volunteering, and many of our event partners offer the chance to continue volunteering in a more consistent capacity. 

Past issues addressed during 91Å·ÃÀ¾«Æ· Cares include poverty, food security, environmental preservation, housing, violence prevention, youth health, and community building. 

This year’s event is planned to be fully in-person. Students will spend approximately two hours working with their assigned community organization, and then conclude with group reflection activities and a skills articulation workshop upon their return to campus. Food and snacks will be provided for the day for all 91Å·ÃÀ¾«Æ·dents attending.  

Volunteering at this event counts as 7 volunteer hours towards the community engagement portion of 91Å·ÃÀ¾«Æ·’s Certificate in Experiential Learning & Community Engagement.
