About

Join ServeUGA for our last Dawg Day of Service 2020 on October 17, 2020!

Dawg Day of Service is UGA's largest annual day of community service, providing a great opportunity to work with other students to make a positive impact in the community. See our list of service sites below for this year's event and sign-up today to volunteer at a local organization in Athens-Clarke County!

This year's event will look a little different...we will be providing both in-community AND on-campus service opportunities!

Some info on our Days of Service:

  • Groups will begin to depart at 10am for their service site. ALL transportation will either be a Drive Yourself/Carpool option or will be walking distance.
  • All service projects (both on-campus and off-campus) will wrap-up by approximately 1pm.


Please RSVP and share on our Facebook event!

If you have any questions, please feel free to be in touch with Aly Shakoor (shakoor@uga.edu), Destiny Favors (djf14132@uga.edu) or Amanda Torrence (amanda.torrence25@uga.edu).
