NYU Alumni Global Days of Service
Service is a long-standing tradition at NYU and so is keeping our global community safe. As we all do our part to reduce the spread of COVID-19, we have transitioned our fourth annual NYU Alumni Global Days to a fully virtual model.
We invite all alumni, family, and friends to offer assistance to the charities listed below, some of which are organizations the NYU community was planning to support through this annual initiative. For any opportunities requesting non-perishable items, anything purchased will go directly to the selected charity and is tax deductible.
Thank you for helping our communities in this time of need, and we look forward to bringing the NYU Community together again soon.
