#ShowUpForService
In 2022, Utah's First Lady Abby Cox challenges Utahns to #ShowUp over 1,000,000 times to serve communities, organizations, and each other.
This summer Show Up is teaming up with Thanksgiving Point, JustServe, and UServe Utah to ask Utahns to "do both" - Visit sandy beaches AND pack meals for hungry students. Go to the splash pad AND throw away litter in your neighborhood. Visit the Utah State Fair AND volunteer at the Utah Food Bank.
Adding a service project to your family's bucket list will make this summer even better!
Come to our free family service event on
June 24th from 4pm-9pm at Thanksgiving Point to visit with over 50 local service organization and learn how your family can give back this summer.
The event is FREE and will feature:
A Concert
Givaways
A Petting Zoo
Food Trucks
Lawn Games
Bounce House
Character Visits
Special Guests
...And More!
The main source of Utah’s strength is the service-minded hearts of its people. When tragedy strikes, when needs arise, when even small acts of kindness can make a big difference, we #ShowUp. We reach out to all, despite our differences, and in the process, we become more empathetic, more accountable, and more connected.

While a student at BYU, Jacob popped into the Y-Serve office looking for a way to get more involved in his community. He devoted his time and passion for community engagement to get involved with Scenic View Academy, a nonprofit transitional school for young adults with autism and other learning differences. He inspired many other students to get involed and make a difference.

Susana helped youth and families in her community by facilitating mentorship. She identified students in need, and paired them with students that could help them socially and academically. The students she served saw incredible improvements in their language skills, built new friendships, and even got more engaged in extra-curricular activities.
