Inspiring Our Future Through Service
The Season of Service
Giving back to the community is endemic to the way we think – taking care of those in need through shelters and food banks, sustaining our environment around us with park clean-ups and planting trees, and providing educational opportunities and mentorship to children such that one day those kids could attend college, perhaps even Dartmouth!
For years, Dartmouth alumni have celebrated and given back to the community on a “Day of Service”. In 2022, the Dartmouth Alumni Council Service Committee is introduced the “Season of Service” to provide more opportunities and encourage more participation to alumni who were unable to participate in the “Day of Service”. This year, the Season of Service will take place from April 1 - June 30, and the “Day of Service” will be Saturday, May 4, 2024.
While we hope that all alumni are able to participate in a service activity during the Season of Service, we encourage all alumni to gather friends, work with their local clubs, utilize mini-reunions in various cities, or even get out there solo to engage in their communities throughout the year. Now more than ever the need for Service is greater and Dartmouth alumni always rise to the Call of Service.
