The association organizes multiple events during the school year that includes poetry, guest speakers, networking, food display, theater, dancing and cultural arts.

UMass student association has also engaged in "Edgar Barros Bidon Project" in honor of a former student and promising community leader who died of an accident at Vulcan di Fogo during his life long dream of visiting the land of his parents. Edgar Barros was 25. The project collects school supplies that are shipped to schools in Cape Verde for the benefit of underprivileged children.

The association's Board of Directors have a close working relationship with Cabo Verde Children project and often volunteer to perform community services during school vacation.
