Many thanks to the Choate students from the USA and foreign countries again with volunteering. They joined with the Dog Lovers Association members from Wallingford, and from family and friends from Durham and North Haven!
🍂 Lending a hand in Wallingford! 🐾
A little teamwork goes a long way! Earlier this week, Choate students joined local volunteers at the Wallingford Dog Park, raking leaves, spreading mulch, and picking up trash to help keep this community space welcoming for our four-legged friends and their families.
It's one of the many ways our students, faculty, and staff give back to the town we're proud to call home. Each year, the Choate community contributes more than 13,000 hours of community service, partnering with local organizations and businesses to make a meaningful difference.
A 2022 economic impact study valued Choate's volunteer contributions at more than $560,000 in added income for Wallingford, the equivalent of supporting 12 local jobs.
We're grateful for the opportunity to work alongside our neighbors, strengthen community connections, and put service into action. 🐾💙
