ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë

On an October afternoon in 2014, thousands of ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë students and staff fanned out across the province to support community projects. It was the launch of the Robertson Institute for Community Leadership and the beginning of an ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë tradition that has resulted in members of the ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë family contributing 50,000 volunteer hours to more than 900 community projects through nine service days.

On Wednesday, October 9, the students and staff at New Brunswick Community College (ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë) will celebrate five years of giving back to their communities on the first of two designated Service Days planned for this academic year, and the tenth Service Day in ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë’s history.

Service Day brings together ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë students, employees, Board members and alumni to participate in service learning and volunteering to help community organizations across New Brunswick.

Service Day has become one of the foremost annual events for , an essential aspect of the ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë Advantage, creating a culture of community leadership and service at the College.
