Give Back to Your Community During VA Days of Service
Vermont Academy alumni, families, and friends are invited to participate in this year’s Days of Service! Celebrated each April, this event encourages members of the broader Vermont Academy community to embrace the spirit of service demonstrated by students during Earth Day celebrations each year.
Serve on your own, gather your family and friends, or consider inviting fellow alumni, parents, and friends of VA to join you. If you'd like to open your service opportunity to others, please send the service project details - description, location, date, time, and your contact information - to alumni@vermontacademy.org so we can list your event on the event landing page.
With so many ways to give back to your community, the opportunities are endless. Consider one of the following ideas:
- Collect donations -- non-perishables, clothing, baby supplies, toiletries, etc. -- to support local nonprofits
- Read to a local elementary school class via Zoom
- Clean up a local park or join a local clean-up team
- Write notes of support to residents of a local nursing home
- Make a contribution to an organization that's important to you
- Plant seeds at a food pantry garden near you
- Volunteer in your child’s classroom
- Provide a meal for a neighbor or friend in need
If you decide to host a gathering and invite fellow alumni, current parents, etc. in your area, we’re happy to share the details on our event landing page. Just email the information to alumni@vermontacademy.org.
We can’t wait to hear how you’ll participate! Remember to post your photos using the hashtags #VAtraditions and #VAserves and tag us (@VermontAcademy) on social media and share a little information with us at alumni@vermontacademy.org. We'd love to give you a shout-out for the wonderful work you do.
