The Leadership Vanderbilt Alumni Steering Committee attempts to offer two service projects annually to the Leadership Vanderbilt alums, their families and interested parties. The first project is usually held in the fall semester, and the second project is scheduled sometime between May and July. The projects, which require no specialized skills, typically can be completed by a group of approximately 30 participants.

Past service projects have included work at Lily's Garden, at which 55 Leadership Vanderbilt alumni and their family and friends helped plant more than 50 trees. Lily's Garden is a playground near Vanderbilt designed to be accessible for children with physical, sensory and learning disabilities. It was founded by Lynn Shaw, who realized the need for such a park when her daughter Lily was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

For the Harris-Hillman Special Education School service project, 50 Leadership Vanderbilt alumni, their family and friends helped clean, paint and landscape Harris-Hillman school.

The Adopt a Family service project raised more than $2000.00 with the help of the Office of Employee Assistance. The funds then were distributed to Vanderbilt families in need.
