Join us to pursue small meaningful projects that will benefit local underserved and reentry populations.
Beginning September 17, every Wednesday during Fall semester, the WGSS Action Lab will be in the COLA Student Lounge in Liberal Arts Hall (LBR-2233).

  • Crochet lessons for anyone that wishes to make children's scarves. The finished products are donated to Crestwood Children's Center, especially for the children in residential foster care.
     
  • Create holiday card art for Crestwood, and St. Peter's kitchen in Rochester, New York. They serve free meals daily for anyone that wishes to have a hot meal.
     
  • Organize a sock and glove drive as well as a clothing drive for the Center for Youth as they serve many young persons that need support, including LGBTQ services.
     
  • Do paper arts, zentangles creations. Come and relax especially if you like to doodle.
