Societies are encouraged to organize outreach ministries, community service projects and campus ministry projects throughout the year. The goal for society projects is twofold:

• 50 percent of your society to participate in a community or outreach ministry project
• At least one society sponsored outreach or community service project each semester

To receive approval for an outreach event, fill out this form at least 2 weeks in advance of your service project/event
After the event, fill out this evaluation form. For your outreach events to count towards Society of the Year points you must fill out this form.
