Service

SpotlightAOG Service Spotlight
In January 2020, we initiated the Service Before Self Challenge, urging members of the USAFA family to donate at least 65 minutes of their time toward community service. Incredibly, we shattered our initial goals in the very first month, so we raised the bar and our USAFA family responded with more than 488,000 total service minutes donated throughout the challenge. For our service spotlight this month, we are honoring all the challenge participants and sharing more of their inspiring stories.
