UW’s SLCE Office to Host Volunteer Fair Sept. 10

A Volunteer Fair, sponsored by the University of Wyoming’s Service, Leadership and Community Engagement (SLCE) office, will be Tuesday, Sept. 10. Open to UW students, faculty and staff, and the public, the informational fair is from 10:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. on Simpson Plaza.

The free Volunteer Fair brings together local nonprofit organizations and UW students, providing opportunities for students to connect with the community and explore various volunteer options.

“The Volunteer Fair is a great opportunity for students, faculty, staff and Laramie community members to connect with organizations across the community,” says Shelby Kennedy, SLCE senior project coordinator and the event’s organizer. “This is the perfect time to meet representatives from these organizations and get connected with the work they do.”

The fair also serves as an introduction for students who may not be familiar with the range of volunteer opportunities available in the area.

“The UW campus community is composed of talented and passionate individuals from across the world who all play a role in the Laramie community,” Kennedy says. “Giving back through service is a great way to use your skills and knowledge while learning more about this community.”

The SLCE office hosts volunteer fairs at the beginning of each fall and spring semester. The event is expected to be a valuable resource for both seasoned volunteers and those new to community service, she adds.
