Get involved in the pipeline of encouragement reaching out to Seattle-area schools

The Pipeline Project is a K-12 outreach program that links undergraduate students from the UW with educational and service opportunities within the Seattle Public Schools through tutoring and mentoring. It is housed in the Office of Undergraduate Education and works closely with the Carson Center and the Office of Educational Partnerships, as well as numerous campus departments and programs involved in similar outreach.

There are five facets of the Pipeline Project that you can become involved in.

Volunteer

Step into the Seattle-area schools and volunteer with students in K-12. Pipeline offers two orientation sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays that are necessary for participation. It is necessary to do a police check to work with the kids.

Service-learning

Get your classes in sync with your community service and work with the Carlson Center to get school-based service-learning placements for a wide range of classes.

Inner pipeline

This is what Shelley is doing, volunteering and receiving credit through an educational seminar that focuses on general K-12 tutoring, math and science, booking-making, or art.

Focus training

Take a seminar or class through Pipeline; it will enhance skills and knowledge.

Alternative spring break

Pipeline gives students the opportunity to volunteer their spring break in a rural community in Washington working with students on a literacy project.
