Each year all 23 UW athletic programs participate in group
and individual community service activities. The Huskies have
participated in projects ranging from planting trees, tutoring
school children, sponsoring a youth clinic and visiting a nursing
home to serving meals to the homeless. Student-athletes find
that participating in community service activities is a great way
to help others and gain valuable experience.
Student-athletes also can earn academic credit through
various internship opportunities and service-learning courses
that are coordinated through University of Wash-ington’s Carlson
Leadership and Public Service Office.
