Venture to Volunteer (V2V) is a multi-day experience for first-year and transfer students that blends non-profit service with exploration of DC neighborhoods, history and culture. This event has previously been known as Explore DC (EDC).

It's a chance to get to know your new city - from learning the logistical ropes (like transportation and food), to engaging with issues faced by community members (and the ways they're making a difference), to first-hand experience of DC's rich cultural, historical and community resources. A long-time AU tradition, it's part of AU All Â鶹´«Ã½ Welcome and sponsored by CLCE. There's no better way to start life at AU!
