How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. - Anne Frank

The Student Volunteer Foundation™ (SVF) exists to empower students who have a passion for service. We believe these young hearts, sharp minds and strong backs have the power to make a measurable impact on the unmet needs of their communities. Understanding the passion and power of young people, SVF funds student-initiated service-learning projects and leadership development opportunities for student leaders, while encouraging educational and career development. In all things, we support students as they build character and build up their communities.

SVF directs the majority of its funding to diverse and underserved populations. We primarily focus on large metropolitan areas where students regularly come face-to-face with the needs of their schools and neighborhoods.
