Emory Cares International Service Day

Emory Cares is the Emory Alumni Association's (EAA) signature service program. Through Emory Cares, alumni, students, staff, faculty, parents, and friends gather to give back to their local communities. Emory Cares is one of the University's most prominent vehicles for furthering its mission of serving humanity. By bringing together the diverse members of Emory's community with a common goal of service, Emory Cares strengthens ties to each other and the University while increasing Emory's visibility around the country and the world.

In 2008, Emory Cares International Service Day was recognized for its valuable contributions to Emory University's 2008 Presidential Award for General Community Service.

How it works

Alumni volunteer service project coordinators in the U.S. and abroad are identified to coordinate service projects in their cities with guidance and assistance from the EAA. The EAA invites all alumni, parents, and friends in each participating city via email and manages online registration for each city's project.

Interested in serving as a project coordinator in your city? Contact Kate Gregory 09C at kate.gregory@emory.edu or at 404.727.3741.
