April 20 - 22, 2012

Wheelock World Service Weekend aims to unite students, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends of the College in a weekend of service to their communities. By coming together to perform volunteer activities in different parts of the country and the world, on one weekend, Wheelock community members will make a powerful collective statement about the College's commitment to service.

Wheelock World Service Weekend will strengthen our ties to each other while contributing to our mission to improve the lives of children and families. We need your help to make Wheelock World Service Weekend a success! Please help us inspire a world of good!
