We had such a great time on the first day of Club Rush! Feel free to visit us in the Grand Ballroom from 10-2 today (Thursday, Feb 13th)!

Thank you @oremlindonrotaryclub for another successful Coats for Kids Event! On Feb. 10, we successfully organized new coats for elementary school children in need. Coats for Kids has been one of our most important projects to serve local communities.

In preparation for the 69 CSW conference, UIMF members and UVU students participated in a simulation game of the UN Sustainable Development Goals with Victoria Baird.

The UIMF held a Spring Social on January 27, 2025, inviting UVU students to learn more about the club, what we do, and how we play an active role in our local community. We participated in putting together baby kits for Tabitha’s Way with Cherise and Kathy from the Rotary Club.

The Utah International Mountain Forum, in collaboration with the Center for Social Impact at UVU, provided the supplies to make birthday kits for Tabitha’s Way, a local food pantry in Utah. The UIMF club bought enough supplies to make 12 birthday kits for children.
