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.
When participating in these in-person service opportunities, we ask that you remember to follow all CDC guidelines currently in place. Limited transportation will be available if needed.
All participants should meet at the Center for Civic Engagement (300 W. North Street) to check in. DO NOT go directly to the service site.
Registration opens on August 22! Check back here to register soon!
IDS 128 students: Visit our main volunteer opportunities page for other possible service opportunities.
