Together, we do more
Emory Cares is year‑round volunteer movement that strengthens communities worldwide. Alumni, students, families, faculty, and friends give back through hands-on projects and flexible at-home/online options, bringing to life the university’s mission to serve humanity. Whether you pack meals, clean parks, tutor online, or support neighbors in need, you’ll join a network of Eagles serving together locally and globally.

The origins of Emory Cares
In 2003, former Emory Alumni Board president, Renelda Mack 83C, envisioned a meaningful Emory community service tradition that spanned the nation. Mack imagined students working alongside administrators at a local foodbank, while other alumni volunteered in Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles.
In 2008, Emory Cares was awarded the Presidential Award for General Community Service, the highest federal recognition a college or university can receive for its commitment to volunteering and civic engagement.
