GEN ST 348: Community-based Leadership (2 credits in Winter Quarter)
For those involved in community work (with a non-profit organization, tutoring, coordinating people to do service or advocacy, etc), this course will explore leadership development framed by three questions: Who am I?

Serve as a Project Leader for the MLK Jr. Day of Service!
On Monday, January 18, 2010, the Carlson Center and United Way of King County will be coordinating the 9th Annual MLK Jr. Day of Service. Last year over 1,300 UW students, staff, faculty, alumni, friends, and family served at projects around King County ranging from cleaning, painting, and beautifying transitional housing facilities, clearing invasive plant growth in Seattle's natural habitats, clearing trash from neighborhood parks, or sorting donated food and clothing, just to name a few. As a project leader, you can recruit your own service team or open your project to meet new people. The commitment is minimal and rewarded with leadership experience, stronger relationships, and a demonstrated commitment to our community.
Project Leader trainings will take one hour and be offered from November 2nd through November 10th in Mary Gates Hall. To sign up, visit http://depts.washington.edu/mlkjr/training or email mlkjr@uw.edu with questions.
