Over two weekends in late April, Eagles in Action is bringing American University alumni together in service and solidarity within their local communities across the US. This year’s lineup for the annual tradition includes project sites in eight cities and regions, including: Seattle, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and South Florida.  

The projects are planned by AU’s Regional Alumni Chapters in collaboration with local community resource providers. From distributing vegetables, packing donations, and supporting outdoor cleanups, there are a variety of ways to give back alongside fellow AU alumni. (Look back at photos from Eagles in Action 2025 to get a taste of what's in store!)

Check out the lineup of project locations and register to volunteer at one near you!
