Service to the World
What is Service to the World?
A large group of volunteers and friends gather here on campus for hands-on projects to help the local homeless and refugees overseas.
How do I get involved?
BECOME A VOLUNTEER
On-campus projects
Volunteer Description: Volunteers will help create various craft projects such as quilts, sleeping mats, stuffed animals, and more.
Volunteer Commitment: We have activities every Wednesday from 7-9 PM in the terrace in the Wilkinson center.
Off-campus opportunity
Volunteer Description: Our community service provider is Stitching Hearts Worldwide. If students are interested in serving at their main service center, please visit the Stitching Hearts Worldwide website, found at www.stitchingheartsww.org. We are not actively sending students to Lifting Hands International. If students are interested in knowing more about Lifting Hands and how to get involved with them, please visit the Lifting Hands International website, found at this link.
BECOME A LEADER
Volunteer Leader Description: There are two kinds of leadership positions: Lead Program Director and Program Director. A program only has one Lead Program Director, but multiple Program Directors. Leaders are generally responsible for overseeing recruitment, retention, and reflection with volunteers. They also coordinate service with community partners and ensure their program runs smoothly. Volunteer leaders may also share the responsibilities of volunteers as outlined in the Volunteer Description. For more information, visit our section called Be a Leader!
Volunteer Leader Commitment: In addition to volunteering, Volunteer leaders commit to a 1-hour monthly team meeting to discuss needs and make plans for the program.

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!
