Information for Community Partners
Project MOVE has helped organizations to paint, clean, build, coach, and landscape, among various other tasks throughout the years. The event’s goal is to connect UTEP volunteers with El Paso nonprofits and agencies that may need support for a day.
UTEP Project MOVE 2024 seeks projects to meet the following criteria:
- The project must be completed between 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 6th.
- The project should accommodate several volunteers. The goal is to provide as many volunteer opportunities as possible. Through the years we have accommodated proposals that needed only a few volunteers to others that asked for more than 150.
- Personnel from your agency must be present to supervise activities throughout the day.
- Community partners are encouraged to provide a brief, 5–10-minute overview of your organization and the people you serve. This is an excellent opportunity to introduce volunteers to your organization’s mission and the needs of the people you serve.
- Project MOVE does not provide any supplies, tools, or transportation. The volunteers will transport themselves to the work site, but your organization must provide the materials and training needed to complete the project.
- This event is nonpartisan, nondiscriminatory, and involves no unlawful activities.
If you would like to submit a service project for your agency to participate in project MOVE 2023 you can find the application in the link below.
We encourage you to submit a project proposal as soon as possible. This will increase the opportunity for us to recruit the volunteers you need. You will be notified as to whether or not your project was approved after the Project MOVE 2024 committee has reviewed it.
As projects are approved, the volunteer opportunity will be promoted through the volunteer registration process. The deadline for submitting a Project Move 2024 project proposal is March 1st. If you have any questions regarding the application or the event itself, please contact us at projectmove@utep.edu.
