AggieServe is a tool that connects community agencies and organizations with volunteers seeking new opportunities. Volunteer projects range from tutoring, volunteering at local schools, participating in Habitat for Humanity, etc. Students can find opportunities on a calendar or by keyword search.
This is a great tool for students looking to give back to the community and make a difference with just a few hours of their time.
For more information, visit AggieServe.
The Big Event is the largest, one-day, student-run service project in the nation where students of Texas A&M University come together to say “Thank You” to the residents of Bryan and College Station. All Texas A&M students, faculty, and staff are welcome and encouraged to participate in The Big Event.
There are three ways a student who wishes to participate in The Big Event may sign up: as an individual, with a group of friends, or with an organization. Participation Forms and Job Request forms are available here.
Encourage students to get involved on Saturday, March 27th and take a few hours to give back to the community that supports Aggieland! For more information, visit TheBigEvent.

[Campus Highlight]
[Website Update]We’re continually making information about ATMentors
more available to you and Texas A&M students. The best way to do this is through our website. If you haven’t
already, send a picture and some information about you that helps you mentor (ie Aggie Ally, Athlete, etc) to
[email protected]. We’ll add you to the website and be able to match students to you more easily.
