A Day of Unity, Impact and Growth

Launching this year on May 18, Koç University Day of Service is expected to become an annual tradition, bringing together our entire university community for a day of collective service dedicated to local and global causes.

In collaboration with non-governmental organizations, this initiative offers diverse volunteering opportunities from environmental clean-ups to educational workshops at local organizations.  Participants gain valuable skills and experience personal growth, turning service into a chance to create a meaningful impact in their communities and beyond.

Our objectives are:

  • To demonstrate the university’s commitment to being a responsible and active member of the community in which it is located.
  • To promote a sense of social responsibility among alumni, students, faculty and staff and encourage lifelong commitment to community service.
  • To provide opportunities for building relationships with local organizations, businesses and community leaders, which can lead to collaborative projects and partnerships in the future.
  • To foster personal growth and development, as participants gain valuable skills and insights through their service experiences.
