WAVE is a student-run group, supported by the Warren Residential Life Office, that advocates principles of volunteerism and service learning. WAVE attempts to connect Warren College students with the greater San Diego community and give students an outlet for giving back to their community. Students in turn learn the value of sharing time and resources, along with gaining life-long skills in planning, programming, publicizing, and connecting with community organizations. The organizers of WAVE hope that students will gain an appreciation for community service and make a life-long commitment to volunteerism.
