Service is an integral part of the Yale experience, the desire to take what you learned on campus and give back for the greater good. The YAA can help you effect that change, whether it's by celebrating a day of service or a year of service, fostering an annual service project, or traveling (when it's safe to do so) to make a difference in communities around the world.
I wish to be useful, and every kind of service necessary to the public good becomes honorable by being necessary.
Alumni, family, and friends in the thousands come together each spring to celebrate Yale's tradition of service by contributing to their communities. Volunteers are needed at all levels: participating in sites, coordinating with local organizations to plan each project, and leading a regional area. We also encourage virtual sites to maximize options for participation.

The Yale Alumni Service Corps (YASC) is a volunteer-led initiative committed to community-driven, sustainable service. Serving where communities have invited our participation, we collaborate with local communities, organizations, and Yale University partners to assist communities in addressing their self-identified needs and goals. YASC presents opportunities for alumni, family, and friends to come together, use their diverse talents in locally prioritized projects in the arts, education, sports, health, and economic development to serve communities in need, promote mutual cross-cultural awareness and make change together.

Despite restrictions on the ability to gather, Yalies all over the world have come together to impact the places where they live and work and connect with their communities in meaningful ways. Check out these interactions by watching our service webinars and video presentations at your convenience.
