Student Volunteer Movement

The Student Volunteer Movement (SVM) was a significant initiative that began in the late 19th century, aimed at mobilizing university students for global missionary work. It encouraged students to engage in volunteer service, spreading awareness about social issues and fostering a sense of responsibility towards underserved populations. SVM not only promoted Christian missions but also emphasized education and humanitarian aid. It played a key role in inspiring many young people to contribute to society, leading to the formation of various organizations focused on service, advocacy, and social justice. Its legacy continues to influence student activism today.
