Special Event
PM Community Day of Service
When: Saturday, April 25, 2026
Where: CMU Troy Campus
Time: 8:00am – 5:00pm (breakfast and lunch provided)
The Project Management Community Day of Service is a service event where experienced project managers provide pro bono project management services to local nonprofits.
This is an extremely high-impact and meaningful way for project managers to give back to the community.
Each nonprofit is paired with a team of experienced project managers. The group meets a couple of times prior to the event day to discuss the project and get to know one another other. On the day of the event, they work through the details to finalize the documents, and the nonprofit leaves with an actionable plan.
