Community Services: Current Volunteer Programs

| Ramadan Charity Iftar |
| |
A charity iftar is organized on campus every Ramadan for groups such as the elderly, handicapped and orphans, who are welcomed to campus for the event. Through this program students are linked as one family with these groups, and they are given the chance to do humanitarian work during the Holy month of Ramadan. |

Each year the Office of Student Affairs organizes a charity mini marathon to benefit a local charity organization. The event is open to the public, with high participation by students from private and public schools, colleges and universities in Sharjah and Dubai, as well as people with special needs. All funds generated from this event are donated to help a charity organization. |

The Green Program aims to raise environmental awareness among students and the AUS community.
