Many Hands Project Applications Accepted until Sept. 11, 2014
Niagara College invites regional charities to apply to their Many Hands Program, a student-driven renovation initiative. On its 17th year, the school seeks a local non-profit in need of event-oriented renovations for students of Niagara College’s post-graduate event management and renovation technician-construction programs to engage and execute. With a starting budget of $0, the program tasks students to fundraise and recruit volunteers over the winter, heightening awareness for the charity and solidifying the community.
“To develop community co-operation and pride through volunteer driven projects aimed at assisting non-profit organizations in the Niagara Region.” — Mission Statement
