Branch of the Month Award: 2023 (APR)

 

Description of the Bridgewater Branch

The mission of our branch of AYLUS is to promote leadership, integrity, and innovation in its members, through the planning and subsequent implementation of volunteer projects that aim to benefit our community. We hope to allow our members to grow themselves not just now, but in the future, by using the power of connections. Members can bring friends and family and have fun doing community service, rather than looking back at it as something they were required to do in order to improve their college application. For those who wish to join us, bring people you know with you, it’ll make for a better time and a bigger impact. Together, we can make a difference in our communities.
