Every year since 1999\u2014with the exception of 2020 because of the pandemic\u2014Trinity students have fanned out across Greater Hartford to take part in a day of service. In 2024, nearly 400 students\u2014representing 15 athletic teams, JELLO, and the Trinity Homelessness Project, as well as P.R.I.D.E. leaders\/cultural house coordinators\u2014participated in the College\u2019s 25th Do It Day. Eighteen community organizations, from Goodwin Park to Habitat for Humanity ReStore to A Place of Grace Food Pantry and more, benefited from the students\u2019 efforts, including basic landscaping, gardening, tree planting, and cleaning. According to Joe Barber, director of community service and civic engagement and the event\u2019s founder, due to capacity issues, Do It Day underwent a bit of a reorientation in 2015, evolving from a project open to the whole campus to a smaller one primarily concentrated on athletic teams and P.R.I.D.E. leaders\/cultural house coordinators. \u201cIt has worked well to have a more focused approach, and Athletics and the Office of Multicultural Affairs have been great partners in this endeavor,\u201d Barber said. \u201cWe are better able to run a quality event that is a positive experience for both the Trinity participants and community partners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photo by Helder Mira<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If it\u2019s the first Saturday after fall classes begin, it must be Trinity College\u2019s Do It Day.
