SouthCoast Serves believes through service we can take responsibility for our region’s future.

The ultimate vision of SouthCoast Serves is to lead our community to become a place where people can and do integrate service into their everyday lives.

SouthCoast Serves developed in the Summer of 2009 with inspiration from a number of factors including:

Passage of the historic Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act and collaboration on our first UMass Dartmouth Civic Engagement summit. Since our initial meeting in June 2009 SouthCoast Serves has been laying the foundation for success by developing comprehensive mission and visions statements, meeting with our legislators, coordinating joint service activities and networking to further service activities in the region.
