Community Engagement

This is a space to share opportunities for collaboration and volunteering.

Community engagement can take many forms to address a large range of issues. It is intended to make a positive impact in a community through diverse forms of collaboration. Whether you’re looking for a one-time event, an ongoing opportunity, or a further form of collaboration, you have many options for getting involved on campus and in your community.

 

Collectiv-ECO

LFSA cares about our communities and volunteering is a critical part of showing our commitment to social justice and making a difference in the lives of our fellow Latinxs. The goal of this program is to build a community to promote collaboration, strengthen advocacy, connect with potential volunteers, better connect with communities outside UW, and maximize the visibility of Latinx staff and faculty at UW.
