Potential Community Partners

You can find potential community organizations that the Service-Learning Program has worked with in the past on the list below. Some organizations can offer direct service while others are better suited for indirect service opportunities.

Direct Service: Person-to-person, face-to-face service projects in which the students’ service directly impacts individuals who receive the service from the students. Examples include:

• • Tutoring students
  • Helping in a homeless shelter
  • Distributing food at a food pantry

Indirect Service: Contributing to an organization without having direct contact with the person or thing you are impacting. Examples include:

• • Creative Advocacy (i.e. creating public service announcements, using social media to promote a local organization or issue, writing letters to the editor about a community issue)
  • Resource Development (i.e. organize a donation drive)
  • Behind-the-Scenes Support (i.e. creating a user-friendly website, designing promotional materials, developing educational materials)
