Flashes Give Back Week
Flashes Give Back Week Is April 13-18, 2026
Since 2009, Golden Flashes have come together to volunteer for our blue and gold communities around the world. What was once a day of service is now a weeklong initiative, offering even more ways to give back. This year's theme is Champions of Kindness. We all have a chance to be the hero of someone's story! Let's level up our generosity and make this the most impactful week yet.
Join in as a Compassionate Samaritan
Volunteer at Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State or in your local community. Whether you’re passionate about combating food insecurity, improving literacy among K-12 students, creating crafts and notes to uplift your community, cleaning up and improving spaces or donating supplies that support Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State students, you can give back to the area that means the most to you. This year, we are excited to offer in-person volunteer opportunities and a variety of virtual options.
Sign up to volunteer by Monday, March 2 to receive a free Flashes Give Back Week T-shirt.
