Fall 2026 Spartan Service Saturdays

About

Join us for a Spartan Service Saturday Project!

These service projects can be used to earn volunteer hours (not for a course) or service learning hours (course-connected). These projects are great because they are already organized, all you have to do is sign-up, show up, and be ready to help the community!

Opportunity Drawing: As part of our Spartan Service Saturday Projects, we will be offering one Opportunity Drawing during each service project. For those who show up to volunteer during the service project, their name will be entered to win a $50 Visa gift card!
