Assembly for Action is a student-run community service leadership program funded by the University of Florida Office of the Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, and administered through the Graham Center.
The program pairs up to 50 “Action Scholars” with local nonprofits to create action plans for community service projects. Each project receives a grant of $2,500.
Students involved with Assembly for Action attend a conference of engaging seminars and panels about asset-based community development, non-profit leadership, entrepreneurship, the ethics of volunteerism, public speaking, and how to write a grant proposal.
Likewise, the nonprofits participating in the program benefit by an increased capacity of ideas and effort that enables them to better serve their Gainesville constituents.
