Make Your Impact

Service Saturdays are one-day service projects that are planned throughout the academic year by the Leadership and Service team or the university. Taking place one Saturday a month, students can sign up to participate in a Service Saturday to engage in volunteer projects that benefit students and the communities we serve. View our projects below to find the best fit for you and sign up!

Service Saturday Schedule

Service Saturday projects typically begin at 9:00 AM with check-in prior to service. Check-in locations vary by project but will always be on campus. Light breakfast is provided to volunteers each project. Transportation is only provided to select project sites, but volunteers are able to drive themselves or others if preferred. All students will do service from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. 

Choose Where You Serve

Each project offers a variety of sites to choose from, which means you have the ability to choose your preferred site when you register on the Bobcat Organization Hub! Do note that while we do our best to assign you to the site of your choice, we do not guarantee first choice. Site capacity is pre-determined based on our site partner's ability to accommodate.

If you would like to serve as a group, all group members must sign up individually. In addition, we will not reserve sites or hold spots for a group.
