Marketing Team
What is the Marketing Team?
Your program’s service solution, made simple.
The Marketing Team seeks to serve the 70+ Y-Serve programs by making them more accessible to the student body through 4 main committees. We train our team how to strategize, promote, and assist with programs on campus and around Utah County in order to increase service opportunities to students, faculty and staff.
We can help you make a difference in the lives of thousands of students while you rub shoulders with the best people, make lifelong (and eternal) friendships, gain killer resume-building experiences, and get some free stuff.
If you are a student who loves service, promoting great causes, and wants to grow personally, then we need you!
The Marketing Team’s 4 main committees:
Creative:
Passionate about graphic design and learning the Adobe Suite? Creative integrates current student employees and volunteers to expand the capabilities of the Graphic Designer, Photographer and Videographer roles. Student employees will oversee volunteers who assist them in providing professional marketing resources for each program and Y-Serve in general.
Public Relations/Events:
Love working with people and connecting with students? The PR committee is responsible for maintaining contacts with each college, department, and campus organization. They are also responsible for hosting and/or attending promotional events.
Social Media:
Curious about social media strategy and design? The Social Media committee is tasked with posting and managing content on social media channels. They oversee program pages and work with the Strategy Team in assisting programs in social media strategy.
Strategy:
Interested in data analytics and marketing strategy? Strategy is responsible for collecting data in order to advise programs and the Center for Service and Learning (Y-Serve) on the adjustment of marketing strategies and campaigns. They develop a marketing strategy for Y-Serve and oversee the data collected to unlock the potential that your program has.

I love every piece of Y-Serve. The people here are so genuinely good and willing to help in whatever possible capacity. This has been one of my hardest semesters (and years!) but Y-Serve has always been a light. It will always feel like home because of the love of God and of others and for me. That's why I believe in the importance of marketing - I want as many students as possible to feel that love and strength that can keep anyone going through the hardest trial. I love seeing the light of service enter the people's faces and hearts as they learn and grow through first-time and long-term Y-Serve experiences.
Being on the Marketing Team has been such a great experience! I've loved being able to help spread the word about Y-Serve and everything it has to offer. There are so many people in need, both BYU students and people in the community, and serving helps both sides in a lot of different ways. My time on the Marketing Team has also helped me to gain hands-on experience for my future career and has even helped me decide what I want to do after I graduate. It's been really incredible getting to serve in this way.
Y-Serve is my favorite BYU program out of the whole lot! I have been volunteering ever since I was a freshman and to see the impact that the students and staff have on campus and around town is inspiring. If you want to feel inspired, make lasting friendships, and build valuable life skills, Y-Serve is the place to be!
