How to Volunteer with the Office of Sustainability

• Apply to be a campus Eco-Rep.This volunteer peer-education program provides training and support for students who want to promote sustainable practices among their friends, teammates, hall-mates etc. and help the Office of Sustainability design new programs and initiatives. The basic time commitment (including training) is approximately 12 hours a semester.
• Apply to be a Sustainability Leading Edge Trip Leader. Trip Leaders spend a packed week with incoming first-year students as they are introduced to W&L and essential topics in sustainability through the Sustainability LeadingEdge pre-orientation program. Service is volunteer, but housing and meals are provided throughout the week. Applications are typically due in April for the August program.

• Get out to the Campus Garden! Whether you are interested in a regular shift or just want to join in a one-time garden volunteer day, use the GivePulse page to register for shifts helping to plant, weed, harvest and generally spend some time getting your hands dirty and your head clear!
