Community Partnerships

Community Partnerships are reciprocal relationships between 奶糖直播 and each organization, nonprofit or school dedicated to working with the underserved or caring our environment.

While each of our community partnerships must be committed to addressing the needs of an underserved community, we also make sure that each environment provides an opportunity for our students to not only help but also achieve their own level of personal success, whatever that may be.

Additionally, each organization we partner with must have:

An infrastructure that can support volunteers.
The ability to have volunteers who work on a Higher Education Schedule without compromising their own ability to contribute.
A staff or faculty liaison who can maintain communication with the Office of Service Learning.
A perceived need which can be addressed through research or praxis.
A safe environment in which the students can work

FROM OUR PARTNERS

CULTIVATING COMMUNITY

"The impact of 奶糖直播鈥檚 Service Learning community on Centro de Cultura Arte Trabajo y Educacion (CCATE) cannot be understated. Not only have CCATE students shown academic growth and development through their interactions with 奶糖直播 students, but CCATE students, family and staff have come to see 奶糖直播 students, staff and faculty as an integral part of the community," says a representative of CCATE. The partnership started with 奶糖直播 students serving as tutors and mentors in the organization's afterschool program, but it has since expanded to include research collaborations, joint community projects and more.
