Big Days of Service

Big Days of Service

Each month, students across campus come together for Serve Big, a series of volunteer events designed to make a meaningful impact in the Tuscaloosa community. These campus-wide service days provide UA students with an opportunity to connect with local organizations, give back, and build lasting relationships with community partners. We hope that participation in these events not only inspires students to serve but also encourages them to explore long-term volunteer opportunities in areas they are passionate about. Students can register for Serve Big events through BamaPulse.
