This November, Fresno State students will come together to make a positive impact in the community through a series of volunteer projects organized by student leaders from the Jan and Bud Richter Center for Community Engagement and Service Learning.
One-day service project schedule:
- Friday, Nov. 8: From 2 to 6 p.m., students will volunteer at Papa Mike’s Cafe at Poverello House assisting in kitchen operations, meal preparation and serving. Coordinated by students Amneek Chalotra and Prabhjot Gill, this event aims to support those in need by providing nourishing meals.
- Saturday, Nov. 9:
- At Veterans Home of California-Fresno from 7:30 a.m. to noon, students Rubi Rivera and Alisa Gonzales will lead efforts to maintain the grounds, creating a clean and welcoming environment for veterans. This initiative not only beautifies the space but also honors the service of veterans in a meaningful way.
- Simultaneously, at Stone Soup from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., students Emily Vang and Emily Tun will lead a group to engage second- through sixth-grade children with STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) activities. Volunteers will facilitate hands-on demonstrations and help prepare and clean materials, inspiring the next generation of thinkers and creators.
These service projects highlight Fresno State students’ commitment to give back to the community while fostering a spirit of teamwork and service.
