Jesuit Day of Service (JDOS) 2026

About

Jesuit Day of Service (JDOS) is the largest community event at John Carroll each year. JDOS is an opportunity for you to get together with your friends and classmates, join other faculty and staff, and engage in service to the Cleveland community!

Lunch will be provided after the event back on campus. Make sure to dress for the weather!

You will be notified ahead of time if you are added off of the waitlist. (Not all waitlist folks will be able to join.)

*If you are part of a group, EACH group member must register individually.

Students who are NOT registered by the deadline will not be eligible to join day-of.

Priority registration for student groups and athletic teams will close on March 22, when all extra spots will be reallocated to the general pool.
