Who we are
Serve the City is a global movement of volunteers showing kindness in personal ways to people in need. Our vision is the transformation of lives, cities, and neighbourhoods. Through volunteering, our dream is to involve everyone in caring for the needs of others. Everyone. Rich, poor, strong, weak, haves, have-nots, everyone. Everyone can volunteer!
Serve the City partners with homeless shelters, refugee centres, homes for the elderly, orphanages and other local associations to offer the practical help and support of volunteers. Our goal is to build local volunteering communities in cities that are thriving, sustainable, and self-replicating, providing volunteering opportunities that are easily accessible and open to all.
Serve the City started in Brussels, Belgium with a successful Big Volunteer Week in July, 2005. We had no plans for anything beyond that, but the vision spread from one city to the next and now there are Serve the City teams in cities all over the world – Amsterdam, Baltimore, Kraków, Lisbon, Kathmandu, Nairobi, Paris, Port au Prince, and many more…plus many more to come!
The STCi Movement is led by Carlton Deal (Chief Executive Officer) in collaboration with Alfredo Abreu (Board Chair) and Dave Hahne (Chief Operating Officer). The International Leadership Team (ILT) works to support the movement. It is composed of the Board of Directors (BoD), members of the Global Executive Team (GET) and members of the Global Operations Team (GOT).
The STCi International Non-Profit Organization is the legal structure of the STCi Movement and is governed according to a constitution with the following purpose:
Join us! Many people doing small things together can make a big difference!

We want to be your CSR partner
Our vision is to connect the resources of the city with the needs of the city, and we do this by facilitating local volunteer involvement. The private sector brings with it many resources, both human and financial and can play an important role in contributing to the well-being of communities anywhere. Serve the City can organize corporate volunteering events to make this connection.
We believe in the impact that local and global corporate volunteering events can have, particularly when it is part of a larger ongoing commitment that ties in well with your existing Corporate Social Responsibility strategy,
Serve the City can also help you to improve or develop your Corporate Social Responsibility strategy through consultations, trainings and leadership development, and through ongoing connections to community needs.
