Terps for Change connects UMD students with local organizations to engage in hands-on service, such as tutoring, sustainable farming, and food pantry assistance. Volunteers also participate in weekly dialogues to explore the root causes of social issues and identify opportunities for action. Through this eight-week, semesterly program, students deepen their understanding of systemic inequities and gain leadership experience while making meaningful connections with the local community.
This week, the program begins with the application process for next semester (This is the link to application).
