The Center for Civic Engagement is seeking volunteers for Move Out Pitch In, a campus-wide sustainability effort taking place May 7–8. Morning and afternoon volunteer shifts are available both days, and students, faculty, staff, and community members are encouraged to sign up via GivePulse.
Move Out Pitch In is a coordinated effort to reduce waste during campus move-out by helping students donate unwanted items rather than throwing them away. As students move out of residence halls and off-campus apartments, volunteers will assist with collecting gently used items that can be reused by others.
Volunteers will be stationed near residence hall exits and dumpsters to help students identify items suitable for donation, such as small household goods, school supplies, and everyday essentials. Donated items will be redistributed to incoming students in the fall and shared with Habitat for Humanity, extending the impact beyond campus.
Those interested in volunteering can view shift availability and register through GivePulse. No prior experience is required — just a willingness to help and support a more sustainable move-out process.
