SOURCE Tri-School Day of Service

Each year, SOURCE holds two Tri-School Days of Service: one in the fall to close out our Baltimore Week celebration, and one in the spring to during our annual National Volunteer Week celebration. Join dozens of other volunteers from the JHU health professional schools and serve our community with one of our SOURCE partner community-based organizations. One morning of volunteer service can truly make a world of difference!
