Service Learning

Service Learning

Service Learning is an integral and rewarding part of the L-Dub experience. The goal of the Service Learning program is for students to recognize their own abilities to improve their communities and nurture a sense of responsibility and pride as students take action to improve their local and global communities.

Each student takes part in various service projects every year, which focus on our local community. Each year, L-Dub establishes community partners to support. L-Dub students have recently volunteered in the Byrd Barr Place food bank to sort food into grocery bags for their Home Delivery Program, spent time at Angeline's Day Center for Women in Downtown Seattle helping prepare and serve lunch to the guests at the center, and have compiled backpacks full of food for students at elementary schools who are experiencing homelessness in our neighborhood and larger Central District community. Last year, students ran multiple food and clothing donation drives, a hygiene drive in support of T2p2, and a bakesale in support of HUP. 

Past service learning projects include: reading with students from Bailey Gatzert Elementary, Water 1st International’s Carry 5 Walk for Water, Washington Low Income Housing Alliance’s Housing and Homelessness Advocacy Day, YWCA’s Thanksgiving Basket Drive, United Nations Foundation’s GirlUp Rally, Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Beat the Bridge, American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, Country Doctor Community Health Center’s Spa Day Drive for domestic violence shelters, and fundraising for the Maasai Girls Education Fund.
