250 Acts of Kindness

250 Acts of Kindness: More Engagement. More Impact.

Purpose

The 250 Acts of Kindness (250 AOK) initiative is Fairleigh Dickinson University’s signature volunteerism and community engagement program designed to inspire a culture of service, strengthen campus-community partnerships, and transform lives through meaningful acts of kindness.

Our Vision

FDU is committed to becoming a model university for civic engagement by mobilizing students, faculty, staff, administrators, alumni, and community partners around service that improves lives while preparing compassionate, socially responsible leaders.

Our Goals

Strengthen volunteer engagement both internally and externally.
Expand Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) partnerships that connect employers with FDU through skills-based volunteerism and community service.
Increase campus-wide engagement through service days, campus beautification projects, Lunch & Learn programs, faculty and student presentations, athletic events, and collaborative volunteer initiatives.
Collaborate with the United States of Kindness by Kindland and Points of Light 2035 Doubling Volunteer Hours Campaigns to significantly increase volunteer participation and measurable community impact.
Convene conversations on leadership, artificial intelligence, innovation, and civic responsibility in support of the emerging Humanics Hub.
