UW’s SLCE Office to Host Volunteer Fair Feb. 3 and Feb. 5

A spring Volunteer Fair, sponsored by the University of Wyoming's Service, Leadership and Community Engagement (SLCE) office, will bring volunteer opportunities to the Wyoming Union breezeway from 10 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 3, and Thursday, Feb. 5.

The free Volunteer Fair -- open to UW students, faculty, staff and the public -- will connect fairgoers to more than 20 nonprofits and government programs. There will be a different selection of groups tabling each day, and participants will have the opportunity to meet organization representatives and learn about opportunities to serve the community.

"The volunteer fair is an opportunity for students to use what they're learning in the classroom and put it to work in a real-world scenario," says Shelby Kennedy, SLCE project coordinator. "All of these organizations that are going to be tabling at the volunteer fair also serve folks who are part of the Laramie community. So, it's an opportunity to just really give back to the people who are part of our community as well."
