UW-Milwaukee has a great center on campus called the Center for Community-Based Learning, Leadership, and Research (CCBLLR), that strives to improve student civic and leadership experience through community engagement. The CCBLLR is responsible for events around UWM like, Make a Difference Day and the Alternative Spring Break program! Luckily for us, they always have volunteer opportunities around campus and Milwaukee that students can participate in. Take a look below to see how you can give back to your community this February!
