Service Learning

Service Learning

Service Learning is an integral and rewarding part of the L-Dub experience. The goal of the Service Learning program is for students to recognize their own abilities to improve their communities and nurture a sense of responsibility and pride as students take action to improve their local and global communities.

L-Dub students have recently volunteered in the Rainier Valley Food Bank to sort food into grocery bags for their Home Delivery and Backpack Programs, volunteered in the donation center and created murals for Low Income Housing Institute’s Hope Factory, and spruced up the space outside of the Mary’s Place’s Allen Family Center. Additionally, students have toured and learned about programs led by Casa Latina. Last year, students ran multiple food, paper bag, and clothing donation drives for Wellspring and Rainier Valley Food Bank . 

Additional service learning projects include: Water 1st International’s Carry 5 Walk for Water, writing Get Out to Vote postcards for, volunteering  in Wellspring’s Family Donation Center, reading with Giddens students, YWCA’s Thanksgiving Basket Drive, United Nations Foundation’s GirlUp Rally, Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Beat the Bridge, American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, Country Doctor Community Health Center’s Spa Day Drive for domestic violence shelters, and fundraising for the Maasai Girls Education Fund.
