Since its introduction in 1982, The Big Event has become the largest one-day, student-run service project in the nation. Each spring, tens of thousands of students come together to say “Thank You” to the residents of University City. For the past 42 years, RU students have participated in this annual event to show their appreciation to the surrounding community, completing service projects such as yard work, window washing, and painting for residents of the community. Although The Big Event has become the largest one-day, student-run service project in the nation, our message and our mission remains the same – to simply say “Thank You.”

Benefits of Volunteering with the Urban Canopy Collective

1. Make a Tangible, Lasting Impact: This isn't abstract work. When you volunteer with us, you are physically changing the landscape of a neighborhood for the better. You will plant a tree with your own hands and can return years later to see it thriving—providing shade, beauty, and clean air. This is a direct, visible legacy that you contribute to, one that will benefit residents for generations to come.

2. Connect with Your Community: We believe that planting trees also plants community. You will work side-by-side with your neighbors, local families, and other passionate individuals who care about our city. These shared experiences build strong bonds and a collective sense of ownership and pride in our neighborhoods. You'll meet new people and become part of a network dedicated to positive change.

3. Gain Valuable 'Green' Skills: Whether you're a seasoned gardener or have never held a shovel, you will learn practical, hands-on skills. Our experts will teach you about native tree species, proper planting techniques for urban environments, pruning for tree health, and the science behind how urban canopies combat pollution and the heat island effect. These are skills you can use in your own yard and share with others.
