MICA's Day of Service is an opportunity for all members of the MICA community to volunteer their time and efforts to advance the mission of four grassroots organizations across Baltimore.
Guided by MICA’s institutional commitment to Thrive with Baltimore, the Center for Student Engagement and the Community Arts and Service program have made it a priority to foster more structured and robust opportunities for the MICA community to engage with the city and aid the multiple organizations and initiatives that are making significant change in the city of Baltimore. These efforts are also supported by the Center for Creative Citizenship and the Office for Strategic Initiatives.
Through Spring 2019 Day of Service, 41 individuals between staff, undergraduate and graduate students volunteered at four organizations across Baltimore: Catholic Charities of Baltimore, Duncan Street Miracle Garden, Bolton North Senior Apartments and FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture. Throughout the day the volunteers cleaned a community garden, painted a mural designed by seniors, cooked and distributed meals to under-served community members in West Baltimore, and helped round up the final touches on the Monument Quilt, a project co-led by MICA faculty member Hannah Brancato.
