Volunteer Appreciation Week is our chance to say thank you — to you. Whether you've logged dozens of hours or you're just getting started, this week is about coming together, giving back, and having a great time doing it.
From thrift shop pop-ups to bookmark-making to city cleanups, there's something for everyone. Bring a friend, try something new, and help us make New Brunswick a little better, one event at a time.
Wednesday, April 22 • 12-3 pm

Whether you are a commuter, an on-campus resident, or an off-campus resident, we are all part of this community and should work together to keep it clean. This initiative focuses on New Brunswick streets closest to the College Avenue campus.
All materials, instructions, and maps will be provided! Clean-ups are rain or shine.
