BVU’s GIVE Program is designed to raise awareness among the next generation of civic leaders about the growing need for volunteerism in Greater Baltimore. The curriculum educates classmates on key community issues, inspires them to make a meaningful difference in Baltimore, and develops the necessary skills for success.
GIVE is a ten month program that begins in February and ends in November. The core components of the program include monthly learning seminars, volunteer opportunities and networking events that enhance personal and professional development. There is also a class project component that is designed to create a stronger cohort experience while strengthening leadership skills such as project planning, decision making and collaboration. Participants are asked to commit an average of six (6) hours per month to program activities.
Participants who have completed the Classmate experience are encouraged to continue their connection with the program and exercise their skills further by serving on the GIVE Advisory Board, serving as a GIVE Champion or by providing continued support as a GIVE Alumnus.
