Activities
Term-time: During the school year, Dorm Crew workers clean in-suite bathrooms and several academic buildings. Dorm Crew also assists the building managers of undergraduate houses and dormitories with general maintenance duties.
Clean-Ups: During the week preceding freshman move-in, Dorm Crew employs approximately 220 students to clean the undergraduate residences and prepare them for students (Fall Clean-Up). Immediately following exams in the spring, Dorm Crew hires approximately 400 students to work up to four weeks cleaning the dorms and preparing them first for alumni and then for summer school students (Spring Clean-Up).
Other Services: Dorm Crew also provides first-year students with toilet paper, supplies for dorm decorating, cleaning supplies, and household tools on loan. In addition, its office in the basement of Weld Hall serves as a lost-and-found for Harvard Yard.

“As life developed, I faced each problem as it came along. As my activities and work broadened and reached out, I never tried to shirk. I tried never to evade an issue. When I found I had something to do—I just did it.”

“If it is to be done well, child-rearing requires, more than most activities of life, a good deal of decentering from one’s own needs and perspectives. Such decentering is relatively easy when a society is stable and when there is an extended, supportive structure that the parent can depend upon.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
