The One Utah Service Fellowship (OUSF) is a state AmeriCorps program for high school graduates, college students, and emerging professionals who want to create meaningful change across Utah while gaining real-world experience.
This immersive program places fellows with community-based organizations, nonprofits, and public agencies working on Utah’s most pressing needs—from education and mental health to public health, environmental stewardship, and social services.
If you’re passionate about service, leadership, and impact, this is for you.
The Richfield Family Support Center is a crisis childcare nursery that provides free, short-term childcare so families can access other services or participate in self-care activities. This may include attending mental health or medical appointments or simply taking a much-needed break to reduce stress. They also provide shelter for children who are waiting to be placed in foster homes. Their ultimate goal is to prevent child abuse and promote strong, healthy families.
