Nelson Mandela once said, “A fundamental concern for others in our individual and community lives would go a long way in making the world the better place we so passionately dreamt of.”
With that sentiment in mind, YALIServes continues the legacy of Nelson Mandela through volunteerism. YALIServes encourages all members of the YALI Network to perform acts of service during the week of International Nelson Mandela Day – July 18.
This year, the YALIServes campaign focuses on the small acts of service that can be done within our communities. Stay tuned to this page for resources, tips, and guidance on how to perform acts of service that uplift your community.
