It is commemorated to promote service to the community in honor of Cesar Chavez's life and work. Some state government offices, community colleges, libraries, and public schools are closed. Texas also recognizes the day, and it is an optional holiday in Arizona (official holiday in the city of Phoenix, Arizona) and Colorado. Americans are urged to "observe this day with appropriate service, community, and educational programs to honor Cesar Chavez's enduring legacy."
The Center for Community Engagement is promoting a digital celebration of Cesar Chavez Day, see above for options on how to celebrate virtually.

During National Volunteer Week on April 18 - April 24, 2021, we celebrated service in partnership with the CSU system! This virtual event showcased local and regional nonprofits and community-based organizations representing diverse social impact areas—from housing, education, arts, food insecurity, forestry and children's services.
