Welcome to Connections!

The BYUSA Connection Area focuses on strengthening the Student Connection and Leadership Center’s relationship to individual students and different groups here on campus. We work to create a more connected BYU by sharing the message of our organization and bringing students together.

We primarily concentrate on providing valuable and worthwhile volunteer experiences for all students interested in participating as BYUSA volunteers. Our job is to help each student find the right program for them and help them benefit from all that BYUSA has to offer.

Our goal is to create a place at BYU where everyone can feel that they are welcome, that they belong, and that they are making a difference.

We have several programs that we run. Learn more about them through the tabs!

Campus Outreach

Campus Outreach holds pop up booths around campus that give out food, swag, goodie bags, motivation for finals, and more. These events are focused on innovatively connecting students to campus, showcasing BYUSA, and encouraging students that interact with the booth to start volunteering.

Volunteer
Do you have memories of favorite treats on campus, or ideas on what could make a difference to your fellow students? Volunteer to help run these outreach booths and implement those ideas!

Yearbook

Each semester a group of students takes photos and gathers stories to create a yearbook documenting the experiences of BYUSA staff and employees. Additionally, the virtual version published monthly on the website aims to help students be excited about future BYUSA opportunities.

Volunteer
If you are interested in photography, gathering stories, attending fun events around campus, and working with a team to produce a yearbook, volunteer here!

Blue Crew

Blue Crew is a flexible network of day-of volunteers who help create the magic of BYUSA activities across all areas. This group is great for busy students who can't commit to weekly team meetings but still want to be a critical part of executing the events that make BYU so unique.

Volunteer
If you are interested in receiving messages about the volunteer opportunities on campus, volunteer with Blue Crew! This is ideal for people who need a flexible schedule and are okay with last minute messages!

Alumni

Alumni strengthens relationships between volunteers and BYUSA alumni by hosting networking events for volunteers to learn from alumni about how their BYUSA experience prepared them for their career path, including topics such as resume and interview tips. Alumni maintain this alumni network by collecting and sharing BYUSA alumni testimonials on the LinkedIn page.
