KSU’s Day of Service is an initiative that began in 2014 with numerous students, faculty, staff and community members volunteering their time to say “thanks” to our community by participating in service projects at local non-profits agencies. Depending on the site, volunteers can choose from activities ranging from light gardening and painting, to trail maintenance and working at a local food pantry.
The 8th Annual Day of Service is planned for April, 9, 2022. KSU is seeking non-profits who could benefit from volunteer assistance in the Spring. If your organization has not benefited from KSU Day of Service in the past, please reach out to Kimberly Henghold, Assistant Director, Community Engagement
