Blazers Give Back

UTSA’s Service Branch is here to connect our Trailblazers with meaningful ways to give back to our community, engage with community partners, and support travel, both domestic and abroad, for Alternative Breaks Humanitarian Trips.

Whether you need service hours for a class, are looking to lead a non-profit in the future, or want to give back globally, we are here to help you give back.

What is Campus to Community?

This event is all about our motto “Blazers Give Back.” Each year we seek community partners and members who have service projects for us to help with. We then gather on one Saturday and send dozens of volunteers out to the community to make a difference. Its our way of saying thank you to St. George, and its amazing people, for all that they do to support Trailblazer Nation.
