Volunteer Emory (VE) is a program of Emory’s Center for Civic and Community Engagement that facilitates opportunities for service and social justice work for Emory community members. Emory employees and faculty participate in VE’s triannual Days of Service, especially Emory Cares Day in November, during which the Emory community works with local nonprofits to serve the broader metro Atlanta community.

The Emory University Hardship Fund is designed to assist staff and faculty members who are experiencing a temporary financial hardship due to a catastrophic event or emergency. It is funded by voluntary donations from Emory University faculty and staff, as well as other entities who want to assist Emory employees facing unexpected financial challenges. All donated funds go directly toward helping colleagues in need; no donated money is used to administer the program.

Annually, hundreds of Emory staff volunteer to assist with the setup and breakdown of 14,000 chairs on the Quadrangle for the main Commencement Ceremony, as well as to help with wayfinding, zero-landfill waste sorting, handing out programs, running hydration stations, providing mobility assistance and more.
