La vida y las actividades de la Alianza de Ecoversidades cuentan con el generoso apoyo de un conjunto de Círculos de Servicio. Estos círculos acompañan y cuidan los procesos internos y externos de la red; son como hilos miceliales invisibles o la microbiota que hace posible la vida en el suelo forestal. Cada uno de estos círculos de servicio está dirigido por miembros de la alianza. Como círculos de servicio, son autónomos y capaces de tomar sus propias decisiones, a la vez que desempeñan funciones únicas y comparten responsabilidades con el ecosistema más amplio de la Alianza de Ecoversidades.

Each circle nurtures its own essence, and is constantly evolving, with new learnings and gifts that each of its members share and bring forward into the center, expanding the collective intelligence and sensemaking of the alliance. They have their own offerings, seasonal cycles, kinship relationships and needs. Currently there are about 16 active service circles, some of these are supported by a small scholarship/gift economy, others are not. The service circles that receive funding are related to the administrative, maintenance, financial and communication needs of Ecoversities, including supporting open calls made available for learners and members of the alliance. There have been recent additions, such as the conflict composters, sensemaking and care, and more-than-human service circles.
