The Project

Thank you to all who came out on February 14th & 15th to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of The Project! The event has become one of the largest one-day student and community-run service events in the nation, and we are proud to be moving into our second decade of the event with big plans for the future.

The VSLC was honored this year to be part of the second annual Clinton Global Initiative-University (CGI-U) conference. This three-day national leadership conference for college students was scheduled in conjunction with the 10th anniversary of The Project. As a result, Project 2009 became a two-day event with 50 service projects carried out over Saturday and Sunday throughout the Rosewood community in East Austin. It was our most ambitious Project to date!
