How do I get involved?
BECOME A VOLUNTEER
Volunteer Description: As a volunteer with the Freshman Service Corps, you'll participate in service projects across different Y-Serve programs, contributing directly to community support efforts. The first way to participate is through FSC Service Events, where the whole FSC program comes together to serve the community. Volunteers are also assigned to a team, where they will participate, once a month, in other service programs outside of FSC to find new interests and explore new avenues of service.
Volunteer Commitment: Volunteers are encouraged to participate in monthly FSC and Team Events.
Step 1:
To get involved, email your name and phone number to byufsc@byu.. You'll be added to one of our teams and receive a packet with all of the information about the year!
Step 2:
Please complete this mandatory 25 minute Minor Protection Training before you begin working with this program.
BECOME A TEAM LEAD
Volunteer Team Lead Description:
As a Team Lead, you'll oversee your group's volunteers, organize monthly team meetings, and coordinate monthly team service projects. You'll also attend monthly Committee meetings with the Program Directors and are expected to participate in FSC Service Events while motivating your team members to participate as well. If you’re interested in applying to become a Team Lead, please email your answers to the following questions to byufsc@byu.edu:
1. What is your name?
2. What is your BYU NetID?
3. Why do you want to be a group leader?
4. We, the program directors, would love to be able to meet with you in person for a brief interview. Please provide your phone number so that we can get in contact with you.

Coming to BYU as a freshman was a scary experience. My roommates, classmates, and professors were all new and I felt like I was the only one who didn’t know exactly how to handle college life alone. When I first joined Freshman Service Corps, the events were just a way to find something to do on the weekend. By the end of the semester though, I not only made tons of memories, but also made great friendships! Freshman Service Corps was a place I felt like I belonged on such a huge campus and also provided more meaning to my first year at BYU!
