Howard University Day of Service

The 14th annual Howard University Day of Service (HUDOS) and Student Convocation will take place on August 14, 2026. Modeled after the university's nationally recognized Howard University Alternative Spring Break (HUASB) program, HUDOS introduces service-learning to incoming students as they acclimate to the University and DC community.   

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 2026 will focus on community building through seven service-learning initiatives addressing: educational disparities, environmental injustices, food and housing insecurities, health disparities, poverty, and violence. This service-learning experience allows Howard University students to discover the power of ethical leadership and civic responsibility.  

Students are encouraged to register to participate at: bit.ly/HUDOS26 by 11:59 PM EDT, August 10.If you have questions or require additional information, please contact here.
