About GatorServe

GatorServe is a UHD tradition that brings together UHD students, staff, faculty, friends, families and community partners to complete projects in service of our neighbors. GatorServe is held on both Martin Luther King Jr. Day and September 11th as they are National Days of Service.

GatorServe volunteers are prepared to help homeowners, small business owners, non-profits, schools and other community entities with a variety of small tasks. Some examples would be completing yard work, painting interior and exteriors of homes, changing batteries, hanging pictures, helping with household electronics, setting up or taking down seasonal decorations, general cleanup and so on.

This semester, we have adopted two elementary schools in the Kashmere Gardens community - Kashmere Gardens and Betsy Ross. Beautification projects will include, but not be limited to painting (basic and decorative), renewing planters, building shelves, and power washing. 

Volunteers with artistic talents are needed in addition to those with carpentry skills.
