The Big Event, a national organization started at Texas A&M in 1982, aims to give back to local communities through one large day of service. At the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, more than 3,000 students, faculty, and staff are expected to volunteer and give thanks to Lincoln this spring as part of The Big Event. The organization is entirely student-run and funded by donations from the community.
More than 150 groups volunteered last year alone! You can volunteer this year as an individual or as part of a group.
We look forward to working with you on April 18th. After individuals or groups sign up to volunteer, The Big Event staff will connect you with a volunteer site for the day. Volunteering through The Big Event is a great opportunity to serve in the Lincoln community without a long-term commitment. To find out more about volunteering as an individual or as part of a group visit bigevent.unl.edu or email the bigevent.unl@gmail.com.
