The Global Day of Service celebrates and mobilizes the thousands of alumni, students, parents, employees, and friends of Salem State who wish to improve their communities through service. It also offers a unique opportunity for alumni to re-connect while giving back to their local, national and international communities.
With more than 60,000 alumni residing all over the world, we have the potential to affect communities worldwide in a positive and meaningful way.
No matter where you are, join us through a service project of your own and let us know about it!
How It Works
Service-minded participants will volunteer on their own or with groups of family and friends at service sites around the world. Cleaning up parks, volunteering at shelters, working with animals, and helping at a child’s Little League game are just a few examples of how this event provides a cohesive and organized global effort of service encouraged and demonstrated by Salem State.
