Schedule During Day of Caring

Hilbert volunteers will enjoy a light breakfast and meet at 8:30am in their group's assigned classroom in Bogel Hall.  In the classroom, they will get to know their site leader and the other volunteers they will be serving with.  Volunteers will then travel together to their community partners using Hilbert-provided transportation. The volunteers will serve at their community partner site for two to two and a half hours before returning to campus for lunch and reflection.  Please make note of the meeting time and location when signing up for your service opportunity.
