Campus-Wide Volunteering

Mini jars of fresh honey sit on top of a royal blue plastic tablecloth. Wooden honeycomb sticks are tied onto the jars by white twine and have a white #UBee Kind label with black writing attached.

Make a big impact by participating in one of our signature campus-wide volunteer opportunities with your peers!

Signature Days of Service

Our signature days of service engage the entire UB community in multiple volunteer opportunities across the Buffalo area. Students will make a positive difference in a short amount of time with these large-scale programs. The more participants, the bigger the impact!

MLK Day of Service

A stone carving of Martin Luther King Jr. stands watch over a courtyard in Washington D.C. The Inscription reads "out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope.".

Observed each year on the third Monday in January, MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. 

Pride & Service Day

A student volunteer puts on tan gloves in preparation for gardening at Concordia Cemetery as part of the Ready, Set, Buffalo program.

Join in a day of service with local nonprofit organizations to give back to the Buffalo community at the end of the spring semester! Engage in service related to poverty alleviation, sustainability, and access to education.

Community Day

A student cleans up a garden at Peaceprints in Buffalo, NY as part of UB Pride and Service Day.

Help Student Engagement and Community Relations as we partner with organizations all over Buffalo to volunteer on various projects that will better our shared community, usually in the middle of the fall semester.

What is Micro-Volunteering?

Micro-volunteering is a way for volunteers to give their time to a cause they believe in without a huge commitment. It allows for more one-off interactions, which gives more people a chance to easily engage with their community and perhaps work towards becoming regular volunteers in the future.

Individually, participating in micro-volunteering might only involve donating a small amount of time and effort, but the collective impact can be immense!
