Come support the Welcome Table by preparing & helping to serve over 1000 meals to our soup kitchen guests along with fellow Yalies! Volunteers will either be plating, serving, or distributing hot meals or coffee to our guests. All volunteers conclude the day with clean-up.

The brain is at the core of our humanity. It enables creativity and problem solving, feeds empathy and altruism, and builds relationships and organizations. For thousands of years, philosophers and scientists have sought to understand how the brain and mind work, asking fundamental questions such as: What makes the human brain distinct from that of other species? How do neurons give rise to complex thought, emotion, memory, and behavior? How does the brain develop, how does it change with age, and what can go awry?

We are on the cusp of a neuroscience revolution thanks to groundbreaking discoveries, advanced technologies, and the computational power to leverage insights across many disciplines. Join us for an exploration of the pioneering work being done at Yale and beyond to accelerate research and pave the way for transformative treatments.

Join the Yale Alumni Service Corps (YASC) on a service trip to the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation to learn about Tribal Sovereignty, share your knowledge, and witness how Yale alumni are working with Tribal Communities to implement their goals. YASC has a unique opportunity to participate in a cross-cultural immersive learning experience with the Fort Mojave Indian Tribe on its remote Colorado River Reservation spanning 3 states. YASC, in conjunction with the Fort Mojave Indian Tribe, will work with students on a variety of education, culture, financial literacy and fitness & sports projects.

If you want to join us on this exciting intercultural program, please review the volunteer opportunities listed below. Alumni and Yale students from all classes, all graduate and professional schools are welcome. You will make new friends and contacts from all walks of life! As with all our programs, we hope you will find this trip to be unique and engaging.

The Fort Mojave Indian Tribe with YASC has prioritized these specialized projects:

• Robotics: The students at the Tribe's new Elementary School have mastered introductory Code.org and BeeBots and are eager to learn with more advanced projects, including Unreal Engine.

• Dance: Engage youth in high energy, fun dancing to contemporary music and show youth they can get exercise anywhere. (Previous projects included “Who Let the Dogs Out”, “The Macarena” and “Cupid Shuffle”).

• Education: Participate in "Career Day" and College Information presentations. Present seminars on the college application process. An opportunity to participate in the youth podcast program may also be available.

• Fashion Design: Assist students in the design and creation of contemporary fashion incorporating elements of the Fort Mojave culture in authentic, respectful, and fun ways.

• Financial Literacy: Assist students in Tribal Programs with early financial literacy.

• Fitness & Sports: Present basketball and other sports clinics.
