September Service Days
September Service Days is a series of planned service projects that provide students the opportunity to give back and participate in community service that will benefit the Bloomington-Normal community. Participating is a great way to connect with the community and become an engaged citizen.
Planning for fall 2023 is ongoing, but see below for an example schedule from the last September Service Days.
