UF Day of Difference

Day of Difference focuses on sharing business principles with elementary school students ranging from entrepreneurship to supply chain management for a day

11/10/2016

UF Enactus is recruiting responsible and motivated college students FROM ALL MAJORS to serve as a positive role model in classrooms around Gainesville. You can volunteer as an individual, with a partner, or through an organization. For Fall 2016, Day of Difference will focus on grades Kindergarten through 2nd and will take place on November 18th!

Day of Difference is an Enactus Legacy project that takes place every Fall and Spring semester. The project partners with Junior Achievement to reach underprivileged students in the Gainesville community. It aims to inspire elementary kids to dream big. They learn about careers, the flow of money, entrepreneurship, etc. which is curriculum they would otherwise never be exposed to. The Day of Difference mission is to build the students' self-confidence, broaden their horizons, and instill in them that they can do anything they want to do.

Essentially, you only have to go to one training session, you get pizza, you get a partner, and you get to be an elementary school teacher for a few hours and inspire kids to dream big by playing games. Plus this is an amazing resume booster! This is such a special and rewarding way to give back!
