Safety
Be Smart, Stay Safe
The safety of UWM Learners is of utmost importance. If at any time you feel unsafe--either during your service or during your travel to and from your site--please contact the Institute for Service Learning, your agency supervisor or your professor. Safety guidelines include:
- When possible, travel in groups.
- Park your car and walk in well-lit areas.
- Know your bus route, and what time the bus arrives at your stops.
- Lock your car and don’t leave valuables exposed to view.
- Do not give out your phone number, or personal information to the people you are serving, (i.e. clients, patients, residents, etc).
- Ask the agency staff to walk you to your car and/or the bus stop at night.
- Respect your instincts. If an incident occurs-- even if it's something minor-- be sure to report it to the Service Learning Office.
