IUP students will hit the streets tomorrow for a day of service.
Tomorrow is the fall semester’s “Into the Streets” event for IUP, where over 200 students will help out various organizations in the Indiana Community. The effort is coordinated by IUP’s Office of Service Learning and the Office of Professional and Career Development. Local nonprofits apply to those offices to have students help them out with projects in both the Fall and Spring Semesters. This time around, the projects include:
- Helping the Indiana Garden Club with cleanup and winter prep
- Cleanup and sign maintenance for the Evergreen Conservancy
- Helping Horace Mann’s PTA with garden cleanup in front of the school
- Helping the Indiana Garden Club with cleanup near the East Pike intersection
- Cleanup efforts at the Indiana Humane Society
- Working at the Philadelphia Street Playhouse with the Indiana Players
- Cleanup efforts in the Downtown Indiana Area.
To thank the volunteers, a picnic lunch will be provided to the student volunteers in Pratt Hall. In an academic year, students record close to 150,000 hours of volunteer service. At minimum wage, the hours total over $1 million in value.
