Day of Service – FAQ

AU Days of Service is held throughout the month of November each year. During this time, AU students, employees and their families fan out through the community to perform all types of service projects with different organizations that have requested our help! Community and service are at the heart of our mission and we interact as a university to support our students and our community. Our Days of Service provides an ideal opportunity for the entire Augusta University family to come together in a large-scale demonstration of our commitment to service.

This year, volunteers will have three weeks to complete their service projects, from November 1 through November 21, 2023. Volunteers can complete their projects at their convenience during that timeframe. At the end of the event, we will work with the nonprofits to gather information about the impact of our service to the community and share that with our AU volunteer family.

All full-time and part-time Augusta University students, employees and their families are encouraged to participate in the service projects.
