SouthCoast Serves - (508) 999-8932

SouthCoast Serves is a University of Massachusetts Dartmouth facilitated collaborative that fosters service and volunteerism to meet the needs of our community by leveraging resources, expertise and capacity to maximize impact.

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.
