*President's Day of Service: April 12th, 2025*  

Register by Thursday, April 10.

 

What is the President's Day of Service?
Viterbo's President's Day of Service is a new tradition created in Spring of 2017 to celebrate President Temple's official arrival. Because the day was so powerful and really highlighted connections with Viterbo's Mission and Core Values, President Trietley is committed to continuing these efforts each year. This year, we anticipate approximately 100 Viterbo folks serving our communities and hope YOU can be a part of the impact!

The President's Day of Service is hosted by the Service Saturdays team. For more information about upcoming Service Saturdays, CLICK HERE.   

If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at campusactivities@viterbo.edu.

Site Leader Interest?

If you know you will be serving with us this year and want an elevated leadership role, consider serving as a Site Leader! Ultimately, that means you would facilitate welcome/reflection, serve as the main contact for your service project, introduce yourself to organization staff, and provide guidance/direction for those in your service location/group. Site Leaders would help with registration in the morning (arriving around 7:55a) and be encouraged to assist with cleanup (ending around 1:30pm).  

Example Site Leader Guide: Click here to view a Site Leader Guide from a traditional Service Saturday for more context on the role/day.

Please, if you have experience with Service Saturdays or simply want to challenge yourself in a different way, we encourage you to serve as a Site Leader for our President's Day of Service! Indicate your interest in the general registration form and you'll be contacted with more information.
