Engage in education well beyond the classroom.

UC Engage is designed to involve students in learning activities outside the classroom. Through service opportunities, it is our goal to create a spark within our students that empowers them to not only think critically but also feel, care, and do.

We invite you to participate in our Season of Service!

Click the project registration link below the project name for more details about the project and to register for the site.
Volunteers will be required to provide their own transportation to off-campus sites not within walking distance.
These service projects will count toward student credit for UC Engage.

Make sure you are ready for each and every service project
