A Successful Senior Service Week

During the week of May 28–31, the Class of 2019 participated in a Senior Service project in and around the City of New Haven. Community Service Chairs Alissa Davis, John Isaacs and Anna Robinette planned and coordinated the active week, placing the seniors, faculty and staff volunteers at a multitude of sites working with more than 15 local organizations. Each day the groups were assigned to different locations and different tasks, which ranged from gardening and yard work, to painting and cleaning, to mentoring students, building theater sets and costumes, painting a mural, helping build houses and organizing food and donated items.

Organizations included:
CT Food Bank
Mauro-Sheridan School
LEAP
NHS
Habitat for Humanity
New Haven Farms
St. Luke's Church
NH Parks Department
Westville Renaissance Alliance
Chapel Haven
Good Will
Girl Scouts
Long Wharf
CT Mental Health
Tower One

Through this reciprocal service learning-based experience, students, faculty and staff came to understand more about all of the amazing work going on in their community. Congratulations to all the Hopkins volunteers for an incredibly successful week!
