The event was designed to introduce Scarfie Card supporters, students and other Castle St residents.
The card scheme offers students rewards for voluntary work, and introduces them to activities in and around Dunedin via a deck of playing cards, allowing them to connect with their community in a positive manner.
Card creator Aaron Thompson said it was in a 10-week pilot stage and was introduced to every student on Castle St this week, as well as Aquinas and City colleges.
Dunedin residents can sign up to get students to carry out odd jobs for them.
In return, students earn points to gain rewards.
About 50 tasks had been registered on the card's website and more than 100 students had signed on.
"It's going really well," Mr Thompson said.
After the pilot, the scheme would be reviewed and he hoped the University of Otago would be interested in funding it fully for all of its students.
