Overview

At Nova Southeastern University there are a wide variety of opportunities for students to become involved in service experiences. These days of service are scattered throughout the academic year and allow for Sharks to serve the community in unique ways. Each experience focuses on a different community or social need. We hope to see you at one of our upcoming days of service this year!

The Center for Student Leadership and Global Engagement provides multiple opportunities each month . All events require RSVP prior to the event. Information about ongoing days of service can be found on SharkHub. 

Annual Days of Service

• All Fins In

  • “The ultimate service project” is a partnership between the Center for Student Leadership and Global Engagement and the Office of Campus Life and Student Engagement. Each year NSU Sharks make an impact in our local south Florida community as over 300 of our students partner with a variety of local non-profits and community organization to address an import of social needs.

• 9/11 Day of Service
  • In remembrance of the events of September 11, 2001, students have volunteered at various sites across Broward County to remember those that were lost. 

• Make a Difference Day
  • Make a Difference Day established in 1992, growing to be the largest community service effort in the nation. It takes place annually on the fourth Saturday of the October. This day encourages individuals and organizations to volunteer and contribute to their communities in meaningful ways. The core idea is that even small acts of kindness can create a ripple effect that impacts lives.

• National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week

• MLK Day of Service
  
  • “Make it a day on, not a day off.” The NSU community has joined together to honor the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr by empowering individuals, strengthening communities, bridging barriers, creating solutions to social problems, and move us closer to Dr. King's.

• Earth Day of Service
  
  • Earth Day was started in 1970 as a way to raise awareness through active participation and education in environmental protection. The underlying goal of the day is to work towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly community at NSU and the greater Fort Lauderdale community.
