SWE section creates or participates in educational, outreach and volunteering events in the community where members are able to sign-up to volunteer.
It’s as easy as 2 members volunteering at the local food bank or animal shelter!! So go volunteer, be safe, and have fun while you are doing it.
The events must be submitted to the s2schallenge.com website with relevant information (Event sign-in sheet, Photo/Media Release Form, video, pictures or media files).

Once the event is created and submitted on our website, a SLB representative will verify the validity of the event and approve the event. Events must consist of an educational, outreach or community volunteer opportunity and have a minimum of 2 volunteers per event.

(*Note: General body meetings are not included as outreach events.)
Once an event is approved, it will be posted on our website under your university’s section.
