ASU Cares

ASU Cares is a longstanding series of annual volunteer community service projects organized across the country by ASU Alumni and its chapters.

ASU Cares 2025

Throughout the month of March, Sun Devil alumni are lending a helping hand to their communities by participating in ASU Cares service projects.

Organized by alumni chapters and clubs, ASU Cares projects are fun and meaningful ways for alumni to spend time together while fostering civic involvement. In 2024, 266 volunteers participated in 27 projects nationwide, contributing a total of 1,077 volunteer hours.

From park cleanups and food drives to mentoring youth, ASU Cares month offers unique opportunities for every Sun Devil interested in giving back.
