Days of Service
CEL sponsors a monthly opportunity for service, reflection, and education. During this one-day event, participants are urged to consider their impact and greater role in the world around them. All volunteer work directly benefits our local communities, with students providing services in a variety of ways, from river and trail cleanups to sorting food supplies at one of our local food pantries. Days of Service happen in full months of each semester:
Fall 2025 Semester:
- September 27, October 25, and November 15
- 9am-3pm
Spring 2026 Semester:
- February, March, April (TBD)

Wednesday Work Days
This Fall, CEL introduces a new service opportunity to complement our Days of Service program. However, unlike that program, Wednesday Work Days are a bit more informal with no food and scaled-back transportation.
While these may seem like unfortunate drawbacks for some, Wednesday Work Days is an effort to make during-the-week service more spontaneous and independent. Register for the date that works best for your schedule using the button below. Email Brent James (jamesba@appstate.edu) if you have any questions or need more information.
