Alternative BreaksUW’s Alternative Spring Break program, which involves students in community-based service projects both nationally and internationally that address a wide variety of social needs. Students spend their break working on issues as diverse as literacy, poverty, natural disaster relief, homelessness and preserving the environment. Students consistently say their alternative spring break experience is one of the best in their lives. |

National Service DaysFour days per year are dedicated as national days of service. These days are opportunities for you to join fellow volunteers in Laramie and around the United States in the spirit of service. Typically, we celebrate these events at the University of Wyoming with a large scale, one-day volunteer opportunity. Each day is a great chance to help others, meet new people, and make a difference.Make a Difference Day: Saturday, October 27th- Spooky Sprint Canned Food Drive, 11am, Wyoming Union. Donations will benefit community agencies in Laramie including SAFE Project, the Laramie Soup Kitchen, and Interfaith Good Samaritan. Put together a team and compete for the most food collected and for the best costume! Lunch will be provided after the sprint. |

Multicultural Student Leadership Initiative (MSLI)MSLI is an involvement opportunity for students who support diversity and want to make a difference during their time at UW. MSLI is dedicated to supporting students in their first year on campus by developing their leadership skills and building a supportive social network through mentoring. MSLI promotes an environment where students can prepare for future leadership roles in campus organizations while also enhancing their overall academic success. |

First Year Institute (FYI)FYI! is an intense, three-day and two-night leadership development experience hosted at an off-campus recreational venue. The FYI! program is run by student faculty who are highly successful student leaders in their junior and senior years at UW. The FYI! faculty plan all aspects of the institute and facilitate the majority of the leadership development activities. Participants in the program can expect to learn more about themselves as leaders, the numerous involvement opportunities at UW, and meet other first-year students at UW. Community service is an integral part of leadership, and participants will complete a service project in order to apply what they are learning and deepen the meaning of their experience. |

Women's LeadershipEach year, with the financial support of numerous campus departments, the Women's Leadership program selects a diverse group of undergraduate women to attend the AAUW National Conference for College Women Student Leaders. Upon their return, conference goers plan and execute their own event to promote women's leadership at UW and around the state. |

It’s a chance to apply your skills and ideals toward helping others and meeting critical needs in the community.

Safe ZoneUnlike more visible under-represented groups on campus, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and questioning students and employees cannot be easily identified. Similarly, there is no easy method of identifying persons supportive of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered persons and issues. Safe Zone provides a way for supportive faculty, staff, and administrators within the University of Wyoming community to prominently and nonverbally illustrate that they are a safe contact for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered students and employees. |
