Yale Day of Service, 2018, is set for Saturday, May 12. Save the date, and be ready to volunteer in New York-area communities. Former Secretary of State John Kerry '66 and Marian Wright Edelman '63 LLB, founder of the Children's Defense Fund, are honorary co-Chairs this year.
Yale Day of Service is a day of volunteering, cleaning up, sprucing up, helping out and getting involved in many ways in communities around the world.
At least two sites will be in Westchester County. Jason Sandler '16 M.D. is coordinating efforts to assist Habitat for Humanity at a house in Yonkers. In White Plains, volunteers will help serve dinner to the homeless at the Bread of Life Food Rescue and Pantry.
In Poughkeepsie, volunteers will help clean up areas in the city. Amy Savage '10 Ph.D. will lead the site. Anne Todd Osborn '00 M.F., coordinator, will lead volunteers who will help in a school garden in Garrison.
Over the past several years, YWAA leaders and volunteers have hosted 3-4 sites annually, including the SPCA in Briarcliff Manor and the community garden in Scarsdale. Click Westchester-Day-of-Service for more about past sites and Day-of-Service events.
