What are one-time projects?
Community Outreach plans a variety of on- and off-campus events intended to give interested students an entry point into service. There are two types of one-time service opportunities:
Community Service Days (CSD) are one time volunteer placements that occur primarily during the weekends at organizations surrounding the UConn campus. To reserve a Community Service Event for your Student Organization, please email our team at uconn.co.csd@gmail.com.
Campus Wide Initiatives are large-scale on-campus events hosted in partnership with community partners, such as Special Olympics, or other campus offices. Some special projects include, Smile Mile, MLK Day of Service, and Give and Go.
All transportation is provided for Community Service Day (CSD) events. Pick-ups and drop-offs all occur outside of the People's Bank on the side of the UConn Bookstore.
If you require an accommodation to participate in any Community Outreach events, please contact Jazmyn Matos at jmm10029work@uconn.edu at least five days prior to the event.

MLK Day of Service
Join Community Outreach in celebrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during this MLK Day of Service! This day of service is a great opportunity to bring people together and strengthen our sense of community, while also reflecting on the relevance of Dr. King's work today. The day will include on-campus and off-campus service opportunities, where participants have the opportunity to build hygiene and literacy kits, volunteer at sites around the area, and reflect on the significance of this day! Lunch will be provided.
