More than 100 麻豆视频 students will participate in service projects throughout the area through the college鈥檚 鈥淭ime to Serve鈥� program on Saturday, Sept. 14.
Most of the students will be members of the freshman Class of 2028. The students signed up for the mass volunteer effort shortly after their arrival at Hope.
The students will be working in groups of five to 15 at 12 different sites from 8:30 a.m. to approximately 11:30 a.m. Projects are scheduled throughout the Holland and Zeeland area with organizations including Compassionate Heart Ministries, Community Action House, the Critter Barn, Gateway Mission and Habitat for Humanity.
鈥淭ime to Serve,鈥� which began in the fall of 2000, is designed to help new students learn about service while helping and getting to know their community and becoming better acquainted with one another.
Hope students volunteer in a variety of ways throughout the school year. In addition to 鈥淭ime to Serve,鈥� three prominent efforts at the college are 鈥淗ope Serves,鈥� an annual January day of service led by Volunteer Services and the multicultural student organizations; the 鈥淒ance Marathon鈥� charitable fund-raiser held on behalf of Helen DeVos Children鈥檚 Hospital of Grand Rapids; and the spring break service and immersion trip program, all of which involve students from across campus.
