Palouse Cares

On Saturday, December 5th, WSU students and the staff from the Center for Civic Engagement will be joining with community residents to go door-to-door in Pullman collecting food for local food banks and raising public awareness about the challenges faced by families on the Palouse. All food collected in Pullman will be distributed between Community Action Center and Pullman Child Welfare to provide nutritious food for families on the Palouse throughout the year.

Join us on Saturday, December 5th, from 8:30 to 11:30am, at Zeppoz. For more information, visit www.palousecares.org or call the CCE office at 509-335-7708.

Get Involved in Your Community

To view civic engagement opportunities near campus and establish your own portfolio of community service experiences while at WSU, visit our Students page and follow the instructions to create a service profile on SLPro.

Once you register with SLPro and sign up for a service opportunity, use the Monthly Record of Service Hours Form to track your hours. Your site supervisor must verify your hours on the lines provided. Their signature can either be on EACH line or at a DIAGONAL so their signature is each line where you have hours recorded. Submit your record of service hours to the CCE office located in CUB L48 to have them recorded into the SLPro database. Submission of service hours to the CCE is required of all student participants.
