Details for Fall Quarter 2025 Service-Learners via the UW Community Engagement and Leadership Center, or CELE*
Service Learning for course credit is offered most quarters at the UW Farm.
Onboarding Requirements
- Sign up with Community Connect UW BEFORE arriving for orientation, or you will not be eligible to receive credit
- Complete steps 1 and 2 on our website page, BEFORE arriving for a shift for health and safety reasons.
- Attend ONE Orientation session. If you cannot attend an Orientation day we ask that you find a different organization for your course. Find Orientation dates listed below, choose ONE:
-
- Friday, October 3rd, 1pm-4pm @ The Center for Urban Horticulture
- Saturday, October 4th, 9am-12pm @ The Center for Urban Horticulture
Service Expectations
- Total hours required for Service Learners is 24 hours
- Shifts are 3 hours, so to complete your Service Learning, you will need to serve eight shifts
- A good way approach this requirement is by serving 1 shift/week during the quarter
- We ask that all service learners watch our Virtual Tours on the UW Farm YouTube channel
- Arrive for your shifts prepared to work physically and in all weather conditions.
- Wear clothes that can get dirty. Bring a water bottle and snack!
Please note: Due to our limited resources as a volunteer-based organization, we are not able to send volunteer confirmation emails and do not need to be notified of which shifts you will be attending. Please choose shifts at your convenience after completing both steps of volunteer sign up and we look forward to seeing you around the farm!
