The Fresh START Day of Service is Penn State’s largest day of service for incoming first-year, change-of-assignment, and transfer students new to the University Park campus. The primary goals of Fresh START are: 1) to introduce new students to the many service opportunities at Penn State and in the surrounding communities, and 2) to help students build new friendships with other students transitioning to Penn State, University Park.

Overall, the purpose of the Fresh START Day of Service is to encourage new students to “get rooted” with service opportunities during their academic careers at Penn State, University Park, not just for the day, but for a lifetime. It is hoped that, through Fresh START, new students will develop lifelong civic engagement and build leadership skills through service.
