Professionals Without Borders (PWOB) is group of Seattle University professionals driven to empower students to serve and lead sustainable service projects. It started in 2007 when a group of SU Facility employees were asked to assist on a service project in Nicaragua. Along with SU students, they re-graded the front courtyard of an elementary school that was repeatedly flooding. The concept born from this experience was simple: connect students with skilled trades people (engineers, electricians, plumbers, etc.) to complete small, but substantial, projects for people in need.
