Yale Day of Service
Bring yourself, family and/or friends and join Yale Alumni around the world in providing service to others in our local communities.
Projects involve a commitment of 2-3 hours, and we’ll have a potluck lunch at Nick Johnson’s home for all to join in who can.
Currently our choice of 4 volunteer sites is in the larger Twin City metro area. If anyone in a non-metro area would be interested in helping coordinate a site in your region, please let Vicky Stoneman know. She would be happy to help you get it set up. Vicky's email is vstoneman@s-sm.org or phone 507/333-1646.
