Make a Difference Day is a national event encompassing the most comprehensive nation-wide day of helping others. Fresno State partners with local community benefit organizations to complete tangible, long-lasting projects that benefit the community.

Fresno State students, faculty, staff, and alumni are encouraged to volunteer and work with our community partners to benefit the community. A sampling of past service projects completed during this event include refurbishment and beautification projects at Woodward Park with Fresno PARCs and at Rotary Storyland and Playland, building of hiking trails with Sierra Foothill Conservancy, and gleaning with the Fresno Food Recovery Network. 

Volunteers may participate individually or as a group.  Each volunteer is required to register and complete the appropriate waiver forms.  Specific instructions will be given to volunteers once they have registered. Volunteers will receive lunch following their service work.

Dates TBD

Fresno State volunteers will observe the national service event, Family Serve Day, by participating locally in Serving Fresno Day.  Volunteers will have the opportunity to complete service projects with local community benefit organizations.  Check back in the fall for more information about our partners for this event.

When students partner with local community benefit organizations a unique opportunity arises for students to develop a better understanding of the comprehensive needs that exist in the community.  These partnerships provide students with valuable learning experiences and community agencies with a valuable pool of potential volunteers, interns, and even employees. 

During the Community Service Opportunities Fair students will have the opportunity to learn about volunteer, service-learning, internship and career opportunities offered through area community benefit organizations.

To Be Determined

Benefiting Valley Children's Hospital 

Kids Day is one of the valley’s largest and most visible special events to benefit Valley Children’s Hospital.  Thousands of volunteers throughout the valley help by selling a special “Kid’s Day” edition of the Fresno Bee for $1.  In 2017, approximately 1,500 Fresno State students, faculty, and staff helped to do their part by raising over $47,000!

Please join us to once again help the children and families that are served by Valley Children’s Hospital. Faculty, Students and Staff can help in three ways: (1) volunteer to sell papers, (2) help recruit other volunteers by sharing information on this event with friends, students and colleagues and (3) buy the papers from those around campus!

 

Each year, the University Volunteer of the Year Award honors Fresno State students who have made a difference in our community through exceptional gifts of their time and talent.  Anyone can nominate a Fresno State student for this award.  Self nominations are accepted.  

Date TBD

Fresno State volunteers will participate in a one-day service event, serving local community benefit organizations.  Volunteers will complete service projects in the community.
