This new UServeUtah initiative was designed with the following objectives:

• Develop a statewide network of young adults who will further community engagement initiatives on their campuses
• Create a council providing higher education students with leadership opportunities unique to their age, abilities and interests
• Select council members that represent our geographically diverse state and ethnically diverse communities
• Design a mentoring program where council members mentor UServeUtah’s High School Community Engagement Youth Council, and UServeUtah Commissioners mentor the CCEC council
• Expand young adult awareness of needs and issues of public concern in Utah 
• Provide outreach and advocacy for UServeUtah’s Community Engagement initiatives
