HOWARD UNIVERSITY DAY OF SERVICE

"Incoming Students Make a Difference in the Washington, D.C. Community"

Howard University Day of Service (HUDOS) is modeled after the university's nationally recognized Howard University Alternative Spring Break (HUASB) program, HUDOS introduces service-learning to incoming students as they get acclimated to the University and DC community. This service-learning experience allows Howard University students to discover and learn about the power of ethical leadership and civic responsibility.

Incoming students as well as continuing Howard University students, faculty, staff, and administrators will serve across the Washington DC metropolitan area, embracing the Howard University motto of “Truth and Service.” HUDOS focuses on community building through eight service-learning initiatives addressing: educational disparities, environmental injustices, food and housing insecurity, health disparities, poverty, voter suppression and violence. This service-learning experience allows Howard University students to discover and learn about the power of ethical leadership and civic responsibility.
