Now in its eighth year, Yale Day of Service is scheduled for Saturday, May 7.

YWAA has announced the slate of activities in or near Westchester for Yale alumni to set aside a weekend to participate in community service with their Yale caps and T-shirts on and with a chance to have springtime mini-reunions among all classes.
