What is Aztec Unity Project?
Separate, we are STRONG. United, we are AZTECS.
What: Aztec Unity Project: A two-day service-learning event
Who: YOU, paired with other SDSU student organizations and communities (For example, an academic-related organization, a cultural organization, and a social fraternity.)
Why: To learn about and volunteer for a non-profit organization in San Diego, while networking with your peers.
- Day 1: Learn and Reflect (Break the ice – Spark a friendship – Learn about the non-profit organization you'll be working with)
- Day 2: Serve and Reflect (Service day – Give your time to a great cause – Have fun while you’re at it!)
Take part in something greater than yourself. Strengthen you or your organization by making connections with other organizations on campus. Broaden your horizons, build relationships and help the San Diego community.
