WAAM encourages its members to take an active role in community service. Through our work on creative community service projects, we build a strong relationship with the community. Functioning as a liaison between WAAMers and non-profit community organizations, we connect WAAMers with creative project opportunities. Through the hands-on projects WAAM members take on, they can develop and communicate their talents, experience and portfolio to the community. In addition, community organizations can view projects WAAMers have participated in, get a general idea of the various talents available, and then contact WAAM to request the help of specific WAAMers.

If you are interested in participating in a WAAM creative community service project, please email Janet Si-Ming Lee '98 for more info. Please state which project(s) you would like to work on and in what capacity.
