Make a Difference Week (30 May – 7 June 2026), hosted by the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER), is an annual week of global restoration action where individuals and organizations from around the world host and participate in local volunteer restoration events. Through Make a Difference Week, everyone, everywhere has a chance to positively impact their local communities by engaging in hands-on restoration work.

There are two ways to get involved with Make a Difference Week — either by hosting a volunteer restoration event during the week (or registering an existing event), or by volunteering with a local restoration event near you. Register your event, or learn more about how to get involved on our website.
