On September 1st, UMBC students are gathering to kickoff Fall semester with some service work! We will be heading into Baltimore City to work with Parks & People Foundation and Project T.O.O.U.R. We will get our hands dirty in the garden, work on the kids playground and help paint some of the buildings' structures. A great way to get involved in service, meet new friends and have some fun.
