UWSC Events

Committees

  • Event Committees: If you are ready to roll up your sleeves to make one of our signature events a success, serving on one of our event organizing committees could be just the volunteer opportunity you're seeking. Help us plan from the ground up to ensure our guests have a great time, all while creating positive change in Sumner County.
  • Allocations Panels - April - June each year: UWSC relies on an all-volunteer allocations process to determine how we invest resources in the community. Our Allocations Volunteers go through a required training session, visit partner agencies, listen to a full day of agency presentations, and meet to deliberate allocations decisions.
