Evans Day of Service - FamilyWorks
Evans Day of Service volunteer opportunity on Monday, May 11, 2026.
We hope you'll spend part of your day giving back and connecting with fellow Evans folks at FamilyWorks in Wallingford! We’ll be supporting their food bank by sorting donations from a recent food drive—helping ensure items are ready for distribution to the community. We'll also have the chance for a site tour.
There are about 8 spots available for a morning shift (9:30am - 12:00pm), and 8 spots available for an afternoon shift (12:45pm - 3:15pm). Sign-ups to reserve your spot can be done here, and we'll be operating on a first-come, first-serve basis. Scott or I will reach out to confirm your spot and time with a calendar invite and more details about the day. Since spots are limited, and the work needing to be done is very real, please only sign-up if you can attend basically all of a shift. The address for FamilyWorks is 1501 N 45th St. and while Wallingford is very close to the U-District, you should plan for about 15-30 mins. commute…

Dean's Forum | The Media's Role in Climate Change and Community-Based Solutions
The media has long shaped how communities think about pressing societal problems. It shapes whose voices count, what evidence is shared, and what solutions are presented. Today, technological innovations and corporate consolidation are dramatically changing the media landscape, which is impacting conversations about global challenges like climate change. Join us for a conversation about how the media is currently shaping the narrative around climate change.
Join us for a conversation with UW faculty Adrienne Russell, James Lee from Front and Centered, and climate journalist Cherelle Jackson about how the media is currently shaping the narrative around climate change.
