GRCC Day of Service: Raiders Give Back

Join fellow Raiders for GRCC’s inaugural Day of Service on Saturday, September 26, 2026!

Choose from nine volunteer opportunities with nonprofit and community organizations throughout Kent and Ottawa counties. Projects include supporting children and families, improving parks and community spaces, assisting with local events, caring for animals, and more.

Students will register for one morning or afternoon volunteer shift, generally lasting three to four hours. Opportunities begin as early as 7:30 a.m., and all projects will conclude by 4:00 p.m. You do not need to volunteer for the entire day!

No previous volunteer experience is needed—just bring your enthusiasm and willingness to help! Each opportunity has its own time, location, responsibilities, accessibility information, and clothing requirements.
