Project Makeover Uf

Project Makeover was founded in 2008 by a few innovative, passionate students at the University of Florida whose mission was to create a more dynamic learning environment for elementary school students. As a completely student-run organization we are devoted to bettering the learning environment of Alachua County. Each year an elementary school in need is selected and with the help of over volunteers we makeover the entire school in one weekend. We paint interactive murals, landscape, fulfill a Dream Project requested by the school, and participate in a variety of other activities to help better the facility. Through these actions, it is our goal to bring the University of Florida campus and the Alachua County community together to change the face of public education. In the coming year, Project Makeover will organize hundreds of volunteers and raise thousands of dollars to renovate yet school in Alachua County.
