Committees of LSC
Members of Leadership and Service Council are responsible for coordinating various programs for the UAB student body.
They create these programs and events within their committees. There are five committees in LSC. They are:
Into the Streets
This committee is in charge of Into the Streets, our biannual community outreach day that allows from 500-1000 students to do
community service for a day. Each outreach day, students and staff from all over campus meet and
go out to work with various projects in the Birmingham metro area. Projects can range from painting
a house to working with Humane Society. Into the Streets has become a signature event bringing
together a diverse group of people and allowing them to work together to make Birmingham a better place.
Monthly Volunteer Service
The Monthly Service Committee is responsible for coordinating monthly service projects for UAB students to attend.
The projects vary from month to month and are usually in conjunction with various events coordinated by
Birmingham organizations.
On-going Volunteer Service
This committee is responsible for coordinating all the continuous volunteer activities held throughout
the year for UAB students. Each year the chairpersons of this committee will select several
organizations or groups in the community to work with and recruit students to work with those
organizations. Organizations that we have worked with in the past have been Habitat for Humanity, Glen
Iris School, Salvation Army, and Ronald Mcdonald House.
Retreats
This committee is responsible for coordinating our annual Fall Leadership Conference and our Winter Leadership
Retreat. These two programs provide leadership training for 120 students annually by bringing knowledgeable
professionals to facilitate workshops on leadership. The Fall Leadership Conference is held annually
in September and is held on a Saturday during the day. The Winter Leadership Retreat is held annually in January
at an off-campus location during the entire weekend. This committee allows students opportunities to meet other students
and become more educated in the area of leadership.
Social Change
The Social Change Committee is responsible for providing opportunities for awareness and action for the UAB
campus to learn more about current issues and to act on creating change in the community. Projects with the
Social Change Committee include the Canned Food Drive and the UAB Hunger Banquet.
