Missouri State University is a long-time supporter of the United Way. Volunteering is a tangible way to support our community as part of our public affairs mission. This year, we are excited to allow employees to participate in this year’s Day of Caring on June 22 as part of their regular work schedule.

Participation is subject to staffing availability to maintain the operations of the university. Employees must obtain the approval of their supervisor.

How to participate

To participate, employees should develop a team and sign up for a project. Projects go quickly, so sign up early. Registration is open from April 10-28.

Below is the guidance from the United Way on how to sign up once you find a project.

Day of Caring is June 22

Day of Caring will celebrate 31 Years of Caring in our community on June 22. We’re excited to again host the largest, single-day volunteer event in southwest Missouri.
