Students Help the Community During TRiO Day 2007

Students from Treasure Valley will help community agencies and groups in Nampa during TRiO Day 2007 on March 3, a national day of service sponsored by the TRiO Pre-College Programs housed at Boise State University.

Students who are enrolled in the program or who are graduates will do service projects for the Hispanic Cultural Center, the Nampa Boys and Girls Club, Nampa Parks and Recreation, the Idaho Foodbank and the St. Vincent De Paul Thrift Store. At lunch they will be joined by Judge Sergio Gutierrez, who will give a special presentation.

The TRiO National Day of Service is a way for students to show appreciation to their communities for their support. The TRiO Pre-College programs were established by Congress in 1965 to provide education opportunities for low-income students. Boise State is home to a number of TRiO programs, including Upward Bound, Educational Talent Search, the TRiO Dissemination Partnership, Student Success Service, the College Assistance Migrant Program, the High School Equivalency Program and Multicultural Educational Opportunity.

For more information about the TRiO day of service or about the program, call Julie Bu at (208) 426-3572.
