Bobcat Build

About Bobcat Build

Bobcat Build was started in 2003 as a way to say “Thank You” to the San Marcos community.  It has now turned into a Texas State University tradition and serves as the largest service project on campus. Every spring semester, students volunteer their time to complete various service projects throughout the community such as landscaping, painting, or clean-ups at residents’ homes, local schools, parks, churches, and neighborhoods. The name itself symbolizes our goal of strengthening the bond between Texas State University and the community of San Marcos.

4,000+ Volunteers

Bobcat Build started with approximately 700 students, faculty and staff volunteers. In 2015, we reached record-breaking participation with nearly 4,500.

300+ Service Sites

Over the past 20 years, Bobcat Build has grown from serving 50 residential and community sites to hitting over 300 service sites served in 2018.
