About UCAN Serve
UCAN
Serve is a part-time AmeriCorps program
with 37 participating sites in Utah, Colorado,
Arizona and New Mexico. UCAN Serve is a
campus-based program, engaging students and
community members in meaningful service to address
critical needs in local communities through higher
education. Oftentimes, UCAN Serve is connected with
Careers in the
Common Good
academic departments such
as Healthcare Professions, Education, Social Work,
Fire Sciences, Sociology, and Criminal Justice to
support students on their path toward professions
that serve the public interest.
Students also become involved in UCAN Serve
through service learning experiences, student
leadership groups, honors societies, sororities and
fraternities, and independent volunteerism.
All of the different forms of community engagement
can be applied to a term of service as a UCAN Serve
AmeriCorps member.
