Mitchell Institute Alumni Council

Community Day
Serving, reconnecting, and giving back across Maine on April 11
This April, the Mitchell Institute Alumni Council is bringing Scholars and Alumni together across Maine for a day of giving back and reconnecting with your community. Whether you join us in Portland, Bangor, or from wherever you are, there is a place for you in Community Day.
April is National Volunteer Month, and Community Day is our way of honoring that by spending the morning serving local nonprofits and the afternoon relaxing and reconnecting with fellow Scholars and Alumni. Join us for part of the day or make a full day of it.
Register by April 8 to save your spot.
