This event existed in the past during orientation for first-year students, but starting in 2017, the day of service was expanded to include the entire campus community.
This event held annually is a chance for students to get to know their immediate community, get involved, and learn the opportunities for volunteering.
The Sage Colleges has partnered with:
- YWCA
- CEO
- Troy Boy’s and Girl’s Club
- Joseph’s House
- Capital City Rescue Mission
- Beth Emeth
- Ronald McDonald House
- Equinox
- Parsons Child and Family Center
- and more…
Each non-profit organization has a specific need, and students and the Sage community work in shifts to meet that need. Some examples of service projects include:
- Putting together welcome bags/backpacks/letters
- Skilled jobs such as cleaning, painting, gardening, and baking
- Providing help with after school/child care programs
- Painting crosswalks in Troy
