NIU Cares brings together NIU students, faculty, staff and alumni to serve and support the DeKalb community for our annual day of service on Friday, April 21, 2023.

This year we are partnering with a number of local groups, businesses and agencies to assist them with a variety of projects. Volunteers will be assigned to a location and a project when they arrive. The projects may include painting, gardening and trash cleanup. 

The day will kick off at 9 a.m. in the Altgeld Hall Auditorium where you will meet your service team, enjoy a complimentary breakfast, get a free t-shirt and learn about your service project. Then, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., you'll take part in your service project. Transportation will be provided to your assigned location and back to Altgeld once you’re done.

Sign in to Huskie Hub with your NIU credentials to register your student organization or sign up individually by Wednesday, April 12.
