Gators Volunteer
We encourage our faculty, staff and students to make volunteering a regular part of their life by reaching out and lending a helping hand through various community service projects and on-going volunteerism.
“After six years of mentorship, I continue to learn from my mentee every time we meet. Volunteering with Take Stock in Children and investing in someone else has only made me a better person.”
- Reginald Lane, UF Staff

Taking place each third Monday in January, the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday is the only federal holiday observed as a national day of service — a “day on, not a day off.” The day celebrates the life and legacy of the Civil Rights leader and exists to move the nation closer to Dr. King’s vision of a “Beloved Community” by encouraging all Americans to take the time to volunteer and invest in their community.
