Join new and old friends for an afternoon of volunteer community service. Meet new friends and make a difference! It's a great pick-me-up after a night of dancing at the GPSS Welcome Party.

The GPSS fosters interaction between G&P students and the greater New Haven community. Sign up online or contact Kelly Faltus. Each volunteer receives one of the new stylish and extremely comfortable GPSS T-shirts.
