Volunteers painting vibrant colors together

Why sponsor

A whole school, transformed in a weekend

Each year, Project Makeover UF selects an underserved elementary school to receive full-scale aesthetic and interactive renovations. Student volunteers unite across an intensive weekend to construct outdoor classrooms, paint dynamic educational murals, and plant lush garden beds.

Our dedicated community sponsors provide the essential supplies—from paint and lumber to gardening soil—turning children's dream learning spaces into reality.

1000+ Volunteers, every makeover weekend
1 School transformed, every year

18+ Years turning walls into murals

What your partnership builds

Where your support goes

Colorful mural wall

Murals

Hallways that kindle imagination. Sponsors fund paints, rollers, and primers that transform drab corridors into inspiring visual stories.

Garden beds and plants

Gardens and outdoor classrooms

Raised cedar beds, shade canopies, and native plantings. Sponsors provide the soil, seeds, and lumber for outdoor discovery.

School project area

The Dream Project

Each selected school votes on a unique, high-priority wish—like a sensory playground or amphitheater—funded entirely by community champions.

Volunteers gathering

The weekend itself

Dedicated Gator students organize volunteer logistics, meals, and safety gear, ensuring a seamless weekend build.

The weekend

Hundreds of hands, one school, two days.

On Friday afternoon the hallways are bare. By Sunday evening, every corner radiates with creativity, color, and renewed pride for returning students.

The wall of support

These sponsors are already on the wall.

Every partner below helped fund a real school, painted by real volunteers, in a single weekend.

Yours could be next.
