Geaux BIG Baton Rouge, LSU's Largest Day of Service
How will you participate?
Geaux BIG Baton Rouge is LSU’s largest single day of service that unites current LSU students with the surrounding Baton Rouge community. Our goal is to encourage the entire LSU student body to serve our neighboring residents as well as the local organizations that work tirelessly to improve the city that we now call home. Our volunteer efforts focus on real needs by working on projects identified by Baton Rouge residents and organizations within the local community.
Geaux BIG Baton Rouge held its debut event on April 20, 2013, serving 29 job sites with 850 LSU student volunteers. By 2017, LSU had 1,700 volunteers serving at 120 sites. Based on the estimated value of volunteer time, Geaux BIG Baton Rouge 2017 provided a value of $148,875 to the city of Baton Rouge. *
