Our Vision
The search for experience, to explore paths in serving society effectively
UNI started in December of 2021 with a cast of swimmer student-athletes who had found success in creating a swim community platform, reaching out to millions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Having previously been immersed in social service in the swim space, the founders of UNI decided to shift their online niche community into a broader service organization platform.
Since its founding, UNI has branched out to high schools across California, creating spaces for unique and creative service. Empowering our members with training in communication, marketing, event planning, and large project management, we aim to bring opportunities and resources to more students through the provision of educational technologies and necessities.
Our Key Values
Leadership
We empower our members with the skills and resources to creatively tackle the unique problems they see in their communities, while leading others in the process.
Impact
We focus on creating tangible and long-lasting results through careful research, detailed planning, widespread advocacy, and community outreach.
Diversity
By enlisting a cast of members with diverse backgrounds, communities, and skill sets, we strive to create unique and positive change in every facet of society.
Our Mission
At UNI, we celebrate individual strengths for collective service, fostering human connections that illuminate unique talents.
​
Pioneering a fresh philanthropic approach, UNI, a 100% student-run organization, adapts, learns, and applies knowledge for effective community impact. Beyond traditional volunteerism, UNI integrates members into diverse contexts, accumulating experiential knowledge essential for impactful service.
​
Rooted in person-to-person interactions, UNI strives to learn, grow, and create community projects embodying the enduring value of shared experiences. By always working to branch out, UNI strives to empower students to conceive and lead innovative service projects, custom-tailored to the unique needs of their communities. We believe in the power of effective planning and execution that leads to meaningful contributions with a lasting impact. Together, 'U' and 'I' forge a path to positive change.
