UCLA students help beautify a site at Volunteer Day by planting greenery around a fence. Over 6,500 students were sent to 52 sites around Los Angeles to work on projects like gardening, raking leaves at Griffith Park and handing out school supplies and spending time with children at elementary schools. This year was the fifth annual Volunteer Day, organized by UCLA’s Volunteer Center, which aims to keep students doing service work throughout the year.

Natalie Delgadillo: Large-scale Volunteer Day fails to provide meaningful experience

max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1

My first experience as a volunteer at UCLA involved very little volunteering and lots of awkwardly standing around. I was supposed to be repainting fences for polo ponies at UCLA&#039;s annual Volunteer Day, but the thing I remember most about that day is not doing much of anything at all.
