Volunteer registration is still open!
There is still time to be part of Community Cares Week 2026. We invite students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members to be part of this meaningful tradition of service.
During Community Cares Week, volunteers will:
- Give back through meaningful service projects that support Marshall and the surrounding community
- Help beautify and improve shared spaces through activities like painting, landscaping and clean-up
- Connect with fellow members of the #MarshallUFamily while making a real impact
- Enjoy a great team-building opportunity — groups, departments and organizations are encouraged to volunteer together
- Receive a free t-shirt and lunch on the day they serve and be entered to win door prizes
Community Cares Week is also a great opportunity for high school students to earn community service hours required for graduation.
