Roll Up Your Sleeves Service Day

Tuesday, September 11, 2018
9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Show us your Muscles! "Roll Up Your Sleeves" Service Day will take place Tuesday, Sept. 11 from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. College of DuPage faculty, staff, and students will travel to surprise locations to put in a good day's work. Service projects could involve cleaning, painting, and trimming at local, non-profit organizations such as schools, nature centers, and food pantries.

If you are saying to yourself, "Self! Sign up for this event right now!", then you're in luck! The registration form is below.

Groups will need to decide the following before registering:
• Team captain
• Team name
• Is painting acceptable for all team members?
• Indoors/Outdoors activity preference
• Is the team open to additional members?

(Disclaimer: We make no promises that all preferences will be granted except those who wish not to paint and those who wish to work indoors.)

A maximum of 4.5 hours Compensated Service Time are available for use with prior supervisory approval. More information here.

HOW THE DAY WORKS
