Signature Service Days

UNO sponsors days of service to give UNO student volunteers a chance to engage in service projects around the community.

Throughout the year, projects address many different social issues affecting our community. Volunteers get to participate in the project of their choosing and are provided lunch and transportation. All Signature Service Days are held at UNO's Community Engagement Center and are from 8:30 A.M. - 2 P.M. 

If you are a nonprofit organization and would like us to complete a project for you during one of our upcoming Signature Service Days, please complete a Request For Project form or email it to us at unoserve@unomaha.edu.
