"You have the chance to become part of something bigger than yourself!" This is what Professor Xavier told his team of X-Men. And it is what Serve the City project leaders guide their volunteers towards on a regular basis, as they enable their teams to serve successfully.

In Part 1 of this double episode, we meet Mahmoud and Andrea, two project leaders from Serve the City Brussels. We hear their backstories — Mahmoud as a Syrian refugee and Andrea as a corporate volunteer — and how, as they support the others they lead, their leadership is also supported.

This story from our founding city is part of our celebration of Serve the City's 20th anniversary this month!
