2022 Back to School Supply Drive Recap

The 7th Annual Back to School Drive was the most successful thus far, we collected over 400 backpacks and supplies. After a month of collecting donations, a team of volunteers sorted and filled the backpacks the day before the big event. Each bookbag contained notebooks, rulers, glue sticks, pens, pencils, crayons, folders, and more. The Yale Latino Networking Group, Future Leaders of Yale, and Yale African American Affinity Group partnered with the Boys and Girls Club of New Haven County this year to hold a back-to-school fair at their Columbus Avenue location.

Tread On Trafficking Wellness Challenge

Join Yale’s affinity groups for a 30-day wellness challenge and fundraiser to help end child trafficking and exploitation.

Tread on Trafficking is a fundraising and awareness challenge where treaders ask sponsors to support them for running, swimming, biking, or working out – with all the money raised going directly to Love146, a human rights organization working to end child trafficking.

Challenge yourself, connect to others, help protect children. Join our affinity group team and/or make a donation today!
