About Project Worldwide
Each year, Texas Exes partners with the University of Texas Office of Volunteerism and Service Learning (VSL) on a national service initiative. This initiative is centered around UT’s largest day of service that takes place in November and is called The Project.
This annual, university-wide event enables students, faculty and staff to connect with local Austin neighborhoods to address critical needs such as supporting education, sustainability, beautification and other community priorities.
Project Worldwide takes place in the month of February and allows chapter and network members of the Texas Exes to gather as service volunteers, extending the work of The Project throughout the month of February, both across the country and around the globe.
The Benefits of Project Worldwide Participation
- Showcases the positive impact that your chapter/network members are making within their community.
- Highlights the University of Texas and Texas Exes all over the country and the world.

Project Worldwide Event Guide/Handbook 2025
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.
