Join your fellow Mavericks for a morning of community service at Mission Arlington, UTA Community Garden, City of Arlington Parks & Recreation, the Arlington Public Library, and more! It's our Fall Kickoff event to a year of great community service with UTA Volunteers, The Big Event, and Alternative Breaks.
Come together with people of all ages from service organizations, schools, fraternities, sororities and churches to work together to make a positive impact on the community during the Zeb Strong, Jr. Day of Service! This event is by the Advancing The Dream Celebration Committee honoring the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
At the university’s largest day of service, enthusiastic volunteers participate in various service project sites such as painting, landscaping, youth development workshops, facility cleanup and more all on one BIG day. The Big Event day of community service has seen tremendous growth since its first event in 2000. Participation grew in 2019 to reach more than 1150 volunteers who completed projects at more than 112 different agency project sites and donated over four thousand hours of service to the community.
