iHelp is a volunteer project organized by the Student Alumni Ambassadors that unites more than 1,200 undergraduate and graduate students. iHelp participants meet for a complimentary breakfast and registration on the Main Quad, then disperse to volunteer at more than 40 separate volunteer projects in the surrounding community. In 2008, iHelp assisted 38 agencies and offered 3,600 hours of community service throughout Champaign-Urbana.

This campuswide day of service allows students to:

• Collaborate to improve the societal issues that are present in the Champaign-Urbana community and beyond
• Make a dramatically positive change in the community environment for a day
• Interact with a diverse student body for invaluable life lessons outside of the classroom
