Ballard Center for Social Impact at BYU Marriott

06/16/2026

Lasting social impact is built through the influence of individuals acting with purpose and compassion.

Every effort to strengthen a community, support a neighbor, or address a social challenge contributes to something larger than ourselves.

What does meaningful impact actually look like?

Changing the world doesn't always begin with massive resources or grand gestures. More often, it begins with ordinary people choosing to serve consistently, compassionately, and intentionally.

If you're passionate about service, humanitarian work, or creating positive change where you are, Sharon Eubank's "Doing Small Things with Great Love: How Everyday Humanitarians are Changing the World" is a book worth adding to your reading list!

Ballard Brief students have worked all semester "loving the problem" by deeply researching their chosen social issue topic and then writing a brief on it.

Earlier this month, they had a chance to present their work before finalizing it for publication as part of our online resource library at ballardbrief.byu.edu.
