Project 2009 is February 21st, 2009! - Mark your calendars!

Be a part of one of the largest single day service projects in Texas!

The Project is UT's annual Day of Service event, designed by students to benefit the many Austin neighborhoods surrounding the campus. Partnering with Keep Austin Beautiful since 1999, students, faculty, and staff spend the day together, working on one of many jobs offered at the selected site of the one day event, usually a local elementary school or community center. Jobs include painting, landscaping, trash pick-up, constructing playground equipment, and other general beautification duties specific to the site.

There are THREE WAYS to be involved in Project 2009!

General Volunteers sign up to participate in three-hour shifts or all day, and are assigned a duty upon arrival.
Student Organizations can sign up as a group to work together on one project for the day, to be assigned upon arrival.
Team Leads are responsible for directing a task on-site, and will be in charge of the volunteers assigned to that site. (2 day commitment).

The Project has won local and statewide awards acknowledging the scope of UT's efforts and the dedication of its volunteers, and in 2000 The Project earned the Keep America Beautiful National Award for Community Improvement.
