Alpha Phi Omega’s weekly
Saturday morning projects are the corner stone of
the fraternity's service program. Every Saturday
morning, a group of about 60 brothers and pledges
gather at 8:30am at Bonnycastle Circle to prepare
for the 9am-12pm service projects, during which both
effective community service and brotherhood bonding are
emphasized.
Saturday projects have a massive impact
on the Charlottesville community and often far exceed
the expectations for what can be accomplished by 12 o’clock
- before most of the student body has awakened.
