SERVE Board
The way to become most deeply involved at SERVE is to join our Student Leadership Team. Collectively, the Lead Team is responsible for organizing and implementing all of our programs. Being on Lead Team you will assist in coordinating all aspects of team projects including PR, Finances, Site Development and Education. You will also be a part of the SERVE community as a whole which meets on a weekly basis for training, education and community building. Selection for each Leadership Team is done in the spring.
