Hi there! My name is Maya, and I am the Volunteer Coordinator for the Peer Health Educators, a student organization that exists under the official University of Washington Health & Wellness office. Briefly, Peer Health Educators are student volunteers who facilitate workshops, organize events, run health campaigns, and inspire passion for student health issues in groups all over campus.
I am reaching out to you because we are currently in the process of recruiting students to join our 2019 volunteer cohort. We’ve just released our application (which is due February 15th) and are hoping that you could pass on this announcement to your department. While your department may not be directly related to the work we do, we strive to involve the widest variety of backgrounds, interests, and perspectives within our program as possible because diversity is necessary for widespread outreach, education, and impact. We’d really appreciate it if you could help our efforts to reach the most amount of people we can by informing your students of this opportunity.
Here is the link to the application:

(If you are interested in Literacy ASB, applications will be out for that
Monday Nov 13th!)
By building relationships and providing dynamic curriculum, Science ASB programs cultivate an interest in science, the self-esteem, and the leadership of the K-12 youth we work with. Continue reading
Hi everybody! I hope you all had an awesome summer!
On behalf of Mo (most of you probably know him as your instructor for CEE 220), I wanted to let you know that he is seeking volunteers to help out with drop in office hours for his CEE 220 class this quarter.
The commitment for this volunteer position would be that you dedicate at least one (1) hour a week (same day, same time, for the entire quarter) helping his students with their homework.
The solutions for the homework assignments will be given to the volunteers in advance so they can review them to be prepared to help out at office hours. Volunteers CANNOT show the answer key to the students.
This would be a great opportunity for you to review and solidify your knowledge of mechanics of materials (esp. if you still need to take the FE), as well as give you another notable piece to mention on your resumes for the coming year.
I’ll put a link to a Google Sheet below for you to fill out if you would like to help. You need to be signed into your UW account through Google to access the Google Sheet. Mo would like us to fill the gaps in the schedule and we’ll probably not need more than one person at any given time. Please fill this out before Monday so I can let Mo what to expect.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!
