Volunteers will assist in one or more of the following tasks: painting offices and playrooms, cleaning windows and baseboards, sorting and cleaning toys, hanging shelves, laying carpet and stripping and refinishing linoleum floors. A few lighter tasks will be available for those who require lighter physical activity. This will be an indoor project.
OLLU Service Day is a University-approved initiative so employees do not need to submit vacation time in order to participate.
Employees who wish to participate should sign up here. Staff must obtain approval from their supervisor before signing up.
