At UTRGV, we believe students thrive when they’re engaged in experiences that connect them to something greater than themselves. Community Service helps students explore social responsibility through hands-on service and reflective learning. 

Students can develop leadership skills, build relationships with community partners, and make a lasting impact—right here in the Rio Grande Valley.
