In 2005, a small team of eager volunteers led their first Big Volunteer Week in Brussels, and Serve the City was born.\u00a0Now Serve the City teams are active or starting in cities all over the world – in Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas.<\/p>\n

The International Forum is like a family reunion! We come together for friendship, for inspiration, to share what we are learning, and to help teams in new cities get started.<\/p>\n

The Brussels team is ready to welcome you with smiles, stories, and Belgian fun. Come to the International Forum in the city where Serve the City first began!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/mk_fancy_title][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1756456827838{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column][mk_fancy_title size=”30″ line_height=”50″ margin_bottom=”0″ font_family=”none” align=”center”]Partners & Sponsors[\/mk_fancy_title][mk_clients style=”column” gutter_space=”25″ orderby=”post__in” target=”_blank” el_class=”nopattern” clients=”23, 105, 109, 107″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
