The Project
UT's largest individual day of student-led community service, bringing together 2,000+ students, faculty, volunteers, and community partners to support local Austin neighborhoods.
Get Involved
The Project is UT Austin’s largest day of student service. This university-wide event helps thousands of students, faculty, and staff each year connect with a different Austin neighborhood and make an impact in the city that is UT's home. It is organized and run by the Community Engagement Collective (CEC) and annually marks the culmination of a year-long partnership between the CEC and the selected neighborhood’s community leaders and organizations. We hope you'll join us!

History of The Project
Starting in 1999, a dedicated group of UT students partnered with Keep Austin Beautiful to create a service event with the goal of 1000+ UT students coming together to complete a service project. To the event planners surprise, more than 2000 student volunteers participated. After witnessing the dedication and compassion from the UT student body, the organizers made "The Project" an annual event. Currently, The Project is one of the largest single-day, student & community run service events in Texas, providing support to local Austin communities.
Vision
The Project seeks to support and connect to local Austin communities through service and partnerships while providing a way for UT students to take initiative in active citizenship and leadership beyond campus borders.
