ODSE

The One-Day Service Events program (ODSE) was designed to provide members of the AU community with a myriad of opportunities to connect with the diverse communities of the District. Although this program is primarily focused on the facilitation of short-term community service projects there have been several enhancements that allow participants to experience deeper levels of community engagement. The Center for Community Engagement & Service (CCES) sponsors seven One Day Service Events each year. 

ABOUT MLK!

The MLK Day of Service is a part of United We Serve, the President's national call to service initiative. It calls for Americans from all walks of life to work together to provide solutions to our most pressing national problems.
