(Community Service Day 2026) Hearts and Hooves: Support the Warrior Ranch Foundation

ABOUT COMMUNITY SERVICE DAY:

Join us for an exciting annual tradition, Community Service Day, which is a highlight of Welcome Week! This event offers incoming Seawolves a chance to engage in various service projects, both within and beyond the campus, throughout the day. As a token of appreciation, participants will be gifted lunch courtesy of Jersey Mike's Subs and a complimentary t-shirt (while supplies last). Check-in begins at 8:30AM in the Student Activities Center Auditorium, with our official kickoff at 9:00AM. Volunteers will be guided to their projects to begin at 10:00AM. For most projects, the day is estimated to conclude by 2pm (some off-campus projects may return to campus closer to 3pm). Be part of this impactful day as we come together to give back to the community!

ABOUT THIS SERVICE PROJECT:

The Warrior Ranch Foundation invites veterans of the military and first-responders to attend clinics and workshops to learn about how to work with horses in a number of capacities from experts. Participants receive benefits from working with these animals including lower stress levels. Support the maintenance of the Warrior Ranch through activities such as painting, landscaping, and more. Volunteers must wear closed-toe shoes. Transportation will be provided for this off-campus trip. There will be moderate physical activity involved with this project.

Note: If the maximum number of guests are registered to attend this project, you may join the waitlist or view the Center for Service Learning and Community Service page to register for another Community Service Day project. You are still welcome to join us on August 21st if you remain on the waitlist - we will be happy to match you to projects with open availability!
