Please join UConn Stamford students enrolled in the INTD 198 course, “Civic Engagement,” in volunteering to build the Mill River Playground on Sunday, May 21. That day has been designated, “UConn Stamford Campus Day,” by the organizers of the event. The new playground will be built by volunteers during the period May 15-21. The playground is located at Mill River Park (Tresser Blvd at West Main Street), and is just a few blocks from our campus.

Volunteers will be needed from 12:30 to 5:00 p.m., in two-hour shifts. They are looking for “skilled” volunteers (i.e. can cut a straight line with a circular saw; familiar with power tools, measuring and cutting), and “unskilled” volunteers (i.e. carrying, assembling, sanding,
shoveling, carpenter’s helper). FREE food will be provided to all volunteers and childcare will be provided. FREE t-shirts will be given to all UConn Stamford Campus volunteers at the May 21 event.

Students in the INTD 198 course will be signing-up volunteers in the campus concourse beginning on April 5. They will also be engaging in other activities to recruit volunteers, which include all students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends associated with the UConn Stamford
Campus. You must be at least 14 years of age to volunteer for “unskilled” activities.
