Eighteen years ago, a group of service-minded people set out to test, in real life, a theory that has been expressed in great writings throughout the ages. The theory holds that if people would truly and consistently serve others, aspects of their soul life would be revealed and demonstrated and their lives would be transformed. They would:

 • discover profound inner goodness in

   themselves and others;

 

• discover skills, talents and energy they

   never knew they had;

 

• stay positive and productive, no matter 

   what the circumstances;

 

• discover true meaning & purpose in life.

The theory also says that selfless service is contagious, so that those served, and others who witness their service, would eventually and joyfully “pass it on” in an ever-spreading ripple effect. 

What was discovered is that the theory holds true; these things really happen and lives ARE transformed. From their inaugural service projects—care for the terminally ill; respite care for developmentally disabled children; conflict resolution; health and wellness programs—a dynamic organization renowned for training World Servers has evolved. It is the Human Service Alliance and the Institute for Purposeful Living (HSA/IfPL) in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

HSA/IfPL is an innovative, all-volunteer, non-profit organization focused on service education and training for individuals and groups from all over the world. As a non-religious organization, its programs have been created to be inclusive of all cultural and spiritual beliefs. It has received numerous awards for its contributions to service, including the Presidential Point of Light award and the Institute for Noetic Science’s Temple Award for Creative Altruism.

One of the Institute’s programs is Soul-Centered Education (SCE), a year-long service-learning program designed for students of all ages, seeking a life of meaning. Through classes and hands-on service, students gain clarity about their life’s purpose and are offered tools to achieve this purpose successfully. They learn how to stay positive and handle life’s challenges and difficulties productively and effectively; enhance leadership skills; gain the entrepreneurial ability to incubate an idea and carry it forward successfully; work effectively as part of a group; develop effective communication and time and financial-management skills; and many other lifelong tools so important for the changing world in which we live.

If you are ready to take the next big step in life and become World Servers, IfPL may be the place for you. All students who are accepted into IfPL’s programs receive full scholarships, including room and board for the entire year.

HSA/IfPL hosts four Come and See Preview Weekends a year and invites everyone to experience the Institute first hand. For additional information about IfPL, visit its Website: www.ufhg.org, call (336) 761-8745 or send email to inquiry@ufhg.org.
