Consider Volunteering at UW Bothell
A Message from the Chancellor's Office...
 The University of Washington Bothell is partnering with Cascadia Community College and Campus Compact to host our 3rd annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service this Saturday, January 15th from 8:30am -2pm. Each year we work with community partners in the local area that have specific needs which a single day of service can meet. We have worked with students and the greater community to create 15 projects that address, bring awareness to, and help alleviate a large span of issues and populations in the greater Bothell area. This year we are expecting participation from approximately 300 volunteers including students, staff, faculty, and community members. Each site has a student leading, supporting, and facilitating an individual service project. The University of Bothell and Cascadia Community College are devoted to working towards Martin Luther King's dream of the beloved community. We ask everyone to take the time Saturday to join us in our intentional work towards a stronger, wiser world.
