Day of Service

In the spirit of school pride and community service, Day of Service brings together the University of Minnesota global community of alumni and friends for the opportunity to serve in their communities. Since 2015, volunteers have served in many different ways curated by the University of Minnesota Alumni Association. Side by side the U of M community makes lasting impact around the world. Join others during the month of April to find your day to serve wherever you live.
