For a complete description of each of these programs, please visit our Members page.
The Florida Alliance for Student Service (FASS) is a coalition of statewide programs that promote student service-learning, volunteerism, and civic engagement:
Formed in 1998, FASS promotes the sharing of ideas, expertise, and resources to initiate, improve, expand, and institutionalize student service-learning and volunteerism in Florida. Working together, the Alliance programs increase collaboration, leverage scarce resources, consolidate space and staffing, as well as expand programs, networks and in-house expertise. This kindergarten through higher education collaboration is the only formal alliance nationally where statewide Learn & Serve America, Campus Compact, and VISTA are co-located. Administratively, FASS is part of Florida State University's Center for Leadership and Civic Education.
FASS also collaborates with other partners in Florida, including - The Governor's Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), and the Florida Association of Volunteer Centers (FAVC). The three streams of service (FASS, Volunteer Florida, and CNCS) and FAVC work together to implement Florida's Unified State Plan for Service. This vision and action plan promotes greater levels of collaboration among these partners and increases opportunities for service among Floridians to address the needs of our communities.
