The purpose of the UW Leaders program is to provide opportunities for personal growth, leadership development, and community service for undergraduate students at the University of Washington. UW Leaders is intended to provide students with the opportunity to learn and practice leadership skills, community service, and civic responsibility. Every student can benefit from having opportunities to develop their leadership skills. These vital skills are valuable to the individual, to the campus, and to the community at large, regardless of a person’s background or academic interest. This program will encourage and aid students in developing and maturing as individuals and will improve student participation on campus and in the community through the development, improvement, and application of student leadership skills.
