Basic Needs Programs
Our mission is to be a coordinated resource referrral hub and space where students can find help meeting their basic needs through educational and motivating support sessions, connection to campus and community resources, and peer navigation.
Basic Needs Support
Finding stability and trying to stay present in school is difficult when one or more basic needs aren't being met. Our Basic Needs Resource Coordinators provide confidential support, assist in navigating access processes, and offer professional resource referral for students.
Pop-Up Thrift
We host a free thrift store donated by the University of Utah community where anyone can find or donate new or gently-used clothing, accessories, shoes, bedding, and academic and household supplies.
Peer Well-being Navigation
Student staff members offer guidance to fellow students who are seeking education and access to campus resources. They provide additional support and follow-up to help students make informed decisions about their next steps in their wellness journey.
