Our Goal
The Illini Union Community Connection allows new students to become involved
in the Champaign-Urbana community right from the beginning
Students choose from five issue areas and complete a service project at a local
agency during IStart Student Welcome Week.
After the service project, students will receive more information on
how they can remain active in their campus and community.

One Day Service Projects
One component of Illini Union Community Connection is a one day service project
geared toward first year and new transfer students. Students who participate in
the one day service projects will assist at a variety of local agencies during
Welcome Week.
Through the one day service opportunities, participants have the opportunity to
build friendships and strengthen their connection to the campus and surrounding
communities, increase their understanding of how to further get involved in an
interest area of their choice, and learn that service is an important part of
the University of Illinois experience.
