SMALL GROUP SERVE PROJECT

Does your fantastic small group want to serve together to make a difference in our city?
If so, you’ve come to the right place.

You don’t have to join an already organized SERVE project as a small group to make a difference. You can create your own project and just do it! No permission needed. Just make a difference as a small group.

Gather ideas from the list below and then GO and DO! You are empowered to make a difference as a small group!
