Can my club hold a volunteer initiative anytime or only around Mr. Jefferson’s birthday?
Although the timing of the initiative is the same each year—to coincide with our celebration of Thomas Jefferson’s birthday on April 13—many clubs have found that the volunteer and service programs borne out of this initiative carry on throughout the year. Traditionally, Cavaliers Care volunteer initiatives were held around April 1–15 in order to also capitalize on the feeling of worldwide participation and unity. But today, many University of Virginia alumni, families, and friends enjoy helping others in UVaClub-related projects when it best suits the club. Volunteering your time to help others is a personal commitment. Standalone events and ongoing projects focus your participants’ time and energy in the most rewarding way possible.
