September Service Days
September Service Days is a series of planned service projects that provide student the opportunity to give back and participate in community service that will benefit the Bloomington-Normal community as they arrive on or returning to campus each fall.
During the month of September, the Center for Community Engagement and Service Learning will host these service projects over 4 days: September 15, 16, 22, and 29. Participating is a great way to connect with the community and become an engaged citizen with other members of the Illinois State and Bloomington-Normal community. Transportation will be provided for those who need it. See below for a list of dates and times for each project. Volunteers are accepted on a first come first serve basis. Register today.
