Make a Difference Day is a nationwide single-day volunteer event organized locally by The Center for Community Engagement at Cal Poly and co-sponsored by United Way of San Luis Obispo County. Participants will be placed at different non-profit agencies throughout the County to help with projects ranging from gardening and painting to special events and fundraisers.

Last year, more than 20 Make a Difference Day projects were scheduled with organizations including the Boys & Girls Club of North San Luis Obispo County, United Cerebral Palsy, the Land Conservancy of SLO County, Woods Humane Society, and the Food Bank Coalition of SLO County, among many others. 

Check in at 9 AM at Cal Poly Chumash Auditorium, includes free breakfast and t-shirt! Parking is free on campus, excluding the Grand Avenue Parking Structure. Volunteer at sites across SLO County from 10 AM - 2 PM.
