New to UW Madison? Love Volunteering? Want a way to meet new people?
Jump in to the Community Splash day of service for new students!

Community Splash is an annual event with a twofold mission: to introduce incoming new students to volunteering and service-learning opportunities at UW–Madison and to familiarize participants with some of the local agencies that rely on the continued dedication and commitment of the university community.
Many of our incoming students were actively engaged in volunteer service during their high school careers and are looking for a way to continue in college. Community Splash provides students with an opportunity to make these connections and form lasting friendships with like-minded volunteers.
