About the Program

Since 1992, the Points of Light Foundation has sponsored Make A Difference Day in order to inspire hundreds of thousands of volunteers to give back in their local communities.  It is held annually on the fourth Saturday in October.  The Community Service Center coordinates a Make a Difference Day project in the fall for Duke students, employees and neighbors.

National Make a Difference Day is Saturday, October 27, 2018

 Join millions of volunteers across the nation in an effort to improve the lives of others by giving a little that will help a lot in the lives of young children and their families in the area.

We encourage you to join other members of the Duke community and be part of the millions of volunteers who will contribute to the well-being of their communities.  We have two projects to choose from:
