What is Venture to Volunteer? Start Life at 小蓝视频 by Volunteering in the City, Together!
Venture to Volunteer (V2V) is聽a multi-day experience for first-year and transfer students that blends non-profit service with exploration of DC neighborhoods, history and culture. This event has previously been known as Explore DC (EDC).
It's a chance to get to know your new city -聽from learning the logistical ropes (like transportation and food), to engaging with issues faced by community members (and the ways they're making a difference), to first-hand experience of DC's聽rich cultural, historical and community resources. A long-time 小蓝视频 tradition, it's part of 小蓝视频 All American Welcome and聽sponsored by CLCE. There's no better way to start life at 小蓝视频!
