Day of Service
Together We Give
USD Day of Service brings Coyotes together near and far through volunteerism during the month of April. Serve in your own community, through organized projects or individual efforts, while proudly representing USD. From across the country and around the world, this is our chance to lead with compassion, live our mission and make a meaningful difference.
