Letter: ACE Day organizers are lining up community service projects

By Katerina Hinkle
International Service Coordinator, ONU Office of Global Initiatives

I am reaching out as a member of ONU's 2024 ACE Day Committee. ACE Day stands for "Ada Community Engagement Day."

Annually, over 300 students, faculty and staff members take to the streets of Ada to perform community service projects. These projects include visiting with the elderly, cleaning, landscaping, painting, and organizing for a variety of businesses, agencies, and individual households in Ada and the surrounding communities. ACE Day is on its 12th year.

This year, ACE Day will be held the morning of Saturday, August 24, 2024. We have an opportunity for a one hour shift from 9:30-10:30 a.m. or a two hour shift from 9:30 - 11:30. 

Starting this Monday, June 3, we will be reaching out to individuals and businesses to invite them to host a team of student volunteers to tackle whatever project serves them best.

To get involved, visit www.onu.edu/aceday or contact the committee at [email protected] or 419-772-2432.
