Civic Mission Interns

Civic Mission Interns

Civic Mission Interns see our students as the driving force behind improving our communities for the future through projects that champion activism, promote inclusivity, develop innovation, and encourage living more sustainably. This is a joint project between UWTSD students, the Students' Union, and the University. At its core, it's students giving back to the communities that shaped them and contributing towards a better future.

This project is led by a team of 13 interns. Each intern runs their own project across a UWTSD campus. Check out our latest events and updates below ✌️.
