Gather for Good UA brings students together to serve with purpose and unity.  Through monthly hands-on service events, we create space for students to show up, roll up their sleeves, and make a real difference in the Tuscaloosa community.  As we serve side-by-side, we build friendships, grow in leadership, and strengthen the community around us.

• Host at least one organized service event per month during the academic year.

• Establish partnerships with at least 2-4 community organizations annually.

• Track volunteer participation and service hours each semester.

• Provide leadership roles for students in planning and coordinating events.

• Promote inclusive participation from students across all majors and classifications.

While the University of Alabama offers various service-oriented organizations, Gather for Good UA provides a structured and recurring model centered specifically on monthly collaborative service initiatives.  Rather than focusing on a single cause area, we operate as a consistent service network that adapts to emerging community needs each month.

Additionally, Gather for Good UA emphasizes student-led planning and leadership development in project coordination, creating opportunities for members not only to volunteer but to design and implement service initiatives.  Our monthly structure, cross-campus inclusivity, and emphasis on unity through shared service distinguishes us from single-issue or event-based service groups.
