About Project Worldwide
Project Worldwide is an annual initiative that takes place in the month of February in conjunction with The Project, where students and staff participate in the The University of Texas at Austin’s largest day of service. The Texas Exes and the Division of Campus and Community Engagement partner together to create a global service initiative, Project Worldwide. By teaming up for Project Worldwide, the DDCE and the Texas Exes have extended community service throughout the month of February and around the globe through our alumni chapters and networks.

Project Worldwide Event Guide/Handbook 2024
This handbook is designed to guide you through planning a successful service activity. If you already have a service activity in place, or you conduct projects throughout the year, you could simply schedule one of them to occur in the month of February and register the event with the Texas Exes.
All chapters & networks are required to have their participants fill out the linked liability waiver form for Project Worldwide service activities. This must be completed in addition to any waiver your service organization requires. For example, many food banks and animal shelters require participants to sign a waiver prior to volunteering with their organization. PWW participants would complete the waiver for the chapter/network and the waiver for the food bank/animal shelter. Chapters and Networks should hold on to these waivers in the case of a formal complaint after the PWW activity.
