What programs can I partner with in the CSL?
- Alternative Breakaway: your organization could gain the support of 8-15 college volunteers in this week-long service immersion trip. Designed by a student breakaway coordinator and your organization this immersive trip gives students perspective on a social issue, while providing valuable service to the community and your organization. For more information please contact our Student Civic Engagement Specialist at spearr2@uw.edu.
- Please note: This program will not be running during the 2021-22 year due to COVID-19. We are hopeful to bring it back once we can ensure students are safe during these service trips!
- Day of Caring: Be a host volunteer site for our campus wide day of service. Receive volunteer service from 10-30 college students for a one day project and exposure of your organization to over 100+ students and faculty. The event is usually held mid October and service work conducted from 9-3pm. For more information please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at huskyvolunteer@uw.edu.
- Service Events: If you need volunteers for one-time projects consider contacting a small service coalition of students looking to learn more about our community and give back a couple times a month year round. Your organization could be the next service site! For more information please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at huskyvolunteer@uw.edu.
- UWT Gives: If you'd like to partner with the CSL for our annual holiday gift drive, please contact our Leadership Coordinator at leadcsl@uw.edu.
Benefits of Engaging

- Sharing of knowledge and perspective: Students, faculty and staff are connected to content areas of research and discovery and are often eager to share and learn from practitioners.
