"By being out in the field and being part of a classroom community, I can better understand the issues discussed in our reading.  I am able to see how these issues are played out in the environment, and I have learned so much more from experiential learning than I could have from a textbook. [CLP students] are able to develop altruism and be concerned with social change; they are able to get the best of both worlds in community-service learning"
--CLP Student, Junior, Social Work
 

The Community Literacy Program partners with two programs located in the Lake City neighborhood of north Seattle.  Contact information for CLP students will be provided through the UW's EXPO system once you have signed up for a volunteer position.
