Hope Serving

The Hope Serving service-learning experience offers both collegiate and alumnae members the opportunity to participate in hands-on service related to our Service for Sight mission and develop as leaders on a local, regional and (inter)national level. 

 As a result of the Hope Serving experience, each participant will be able to:

• Describe and emulate the Service for Sight mission.
• Engage in lifelong service endeavors.
• Create collumnae relationships.
• Assess how Service for Sight impacts her as an individual.
• Convey a rich understanding of the population served, and how this understanding parallels her sisterhood experience. 
• Develop and articulate a deeper understanding of herself.  

Hope Serving returned in January 2023 at the Foundation for Blind Children in Phoenix, Arizona.
