Emory Cares

Emory Cares is year‑round volunteer movement that strengthens communities worldwide. Alumni, students, families, faculty, and friends give back through hands-on projects and flexible at-home/online options, bringing to life the university’s mission to serve humanity. Whether you pack meals, clean parks, tutor online, or support neighbors in need, you’ll join a network of Eagles serving togetherlocally and globally.
