Student Engagement & Student Media, in partnership with Every Child Polk Yamhill, a program of REACH Northwest, are proud to announce the Boxes of Hope project! This was an opportunity for Western Oregon University students to build a “care box” filled with items and a personal note for children in foster care going through difficult and uncertain times. This event took place on November 19th and 20th, 2025.<\/p>\n
One of the most effective ways to become empowered and to establish purpose in your life is to ask yourself, “Who can I help?”. This project and event set the stage for that question by providing students a chance to help children who are going through one of the most challenging times of their lives. Alongside serving others, students who signed up to participate also gained volunteer experience for their resume, cover letter, and future professional endeavors, and were entered to win a $250 tuition-based scholarship!<\/p>\n
