National Day of Community Service is celebrated on November 4 annually. It is a national holiday in Dominica that kicks off a nationwide clean-up campaign, asking local citizens to pick up litter that has accumulated on the country’s streets as a result of the country’s Independence Day festivities. The Dominican government assists communities by encouraging them to participate in specific projects, but ultimately, communities are allowed to choose any initiative they wish to participate in.
