Call for Projects!

Are you jumping for joy at the thought of bringing the Pro Humanitate spirit to your own backyard? Eagerly waiting for the next opportunity to get together with other Wake Foresters?

Five people jump in the air for a picture in front of a beautiful fountain display and greenery at Forest Park in St. Louis, Missouri. The group carries trash bags and grabber tools, the latter of which they point up towards the sky as they jump.
St. Louis Deacs leapt at the chance to help keep Forest Park beautiful for PHD 2025.

We’re still on the lookout for a Pro Humanitate Days 2026 project for your community, so now’s your chance to submit a volunteer project idea! Just fill out the form and our Alumni Engagement team will reach out with next steps.
