The Day of Service offers a broad range of volunteer opportunities, from environmental
projects and education initiatives to social work and community outreach. That means
you can find a place to make a difference no matter where your passions lie. Whether
you’re a student seeking to make a positive change in the community or a faculty/staff
member looking to connect with your colleagues in a new environment, the Day of Service
is your chance to contribute meaningfully.
The fourth annual Peayple in the Community Day of Service is happening on Monday, August 24, 2026. Join students, faculty, and staff from across Austin Peay for a day of hands-on
volunteering in Clarksville and the surrounding communities.
Whether you're a first-year student looking to connect with campus before classes
begin or a faculty or staff member ready to work alongside your colleagues, this is
your day to make a real difference.
Details on volunteer sites and partner organizations will be announced soon. Sign-ups
open August 1, 2026 — use the link below to register when the time comes.
In our third annual Day of Service, the Austin Peay family showed up in a big way.
Together, we reached further into the community than ever before — and year four is
right around the corner.
The event stimulates active engagement among the Austin Peay community – students,
faculty and staff – outside the traditional academic environment. It provides a platform
to interact, collaborate and build relationships in a service-oriented setting.
Community Service
The event encourages the Austin Peay community to give back to Clarksville. This is
realized by volunteering with various organizations and participating in service activities.
The act of service benefits the wider community and enriches the experiences of those
who participate.
Building Relationships
The event builds stronger, more meaningful connections among members of the Austin Peay
community by creating opportunities for participants to work together in service activities.
Realizing APSU’s Strategic Vision
The Day of Service supports Austin Peay’s strategic vision of enhancing student success
and academic excellence by providing experiential learning opportunities, promoting civic responsibility,
and cultivating an environment of collaboration and mutual support.
Supporting Clarksville
The Austin Peay community contributes to Clarksville’s social, economic and cultural development through active participation in various service activities. This reflects APSU’s commitment to be an active, contributing member of the local
community.
