Volunteer Day 2009

An army of 4,300 UCLA freshmen and transfer students fanned out across Los Angeles to make the city a better place in what is believed to be the nation's largest-ever university-organized volunteer day.

UCLA Volunteer Day, held September 23, 2009, during UCLA's True Bruin Welcome Week, saw 1,000 new students transported by bus to Griffith Park for trail repair, 1,000 to Point Dume in Malibu for beach clean-up, 500 to the Veterans Affairs hospital and cemetery in West Los Angeles for gardening and other assistance, and 500 to each of five Los Angeles Unified School District campuses for painting and other clean-up projects.
Join in UCLA's heroic goal: to inspire citizens to participate in one volunteer project a month. Visit volunteer.ucla.edu.
