Service of the World has a unique way of bringing not only different cultures and foreign focused organizations together, but also students from all walks at BYU. It’s such an experience to see and participate with volunteers that take our projects and make them their own and add their own ideas and spirit to the overall effort. Associating with such passionate students and the passionate people and organizations with whom we coordinate our projects has been an ethereal, transcending and empowering experience for us in the program. This is Service to the World.
I joined Y-Serve because I needed 10 hours of service for a class. But what I came away with was new friends, a deeper relationship with my Savior, and a more balanced life. I feel more well-rounded, happy, and spiritually alive when I serve. I am so happy I am doing this!
