Annually, Webster University sponsors a campus-wide community service day in partnership with local agencies and nonprofit organizations. Students, faculty, staff and alumni work in teams to accomplish tasks that agencies often neglect due to lack of time and resources. Projects include light construction work, tutoring, painting, yard work, working with children or seniors, park and forest restoration, consulting, and fine arts projects.

Now held every fall across the nation at Webster campuses, the program involves nearly 1,400 volunteers who, on average, perform over 6,000 hours of community service.

Although the number of volunteers and agencies served are noteworthy, the lasting impact is best reflected in the comments of participants - both agency and volunteer.

Here are some of their thoughts:

"It’s a Webster tradition... It’s rewarding to get something accomplished for an agency that does good work ..."

"An incredible event! It is symbolic of the culture at Webster."

"This WWW experience epitomized the way serving others can get into your heart and frame all your ‘problems’ into a new and very insignificant perspective."
