Benefits of SL Partnerships

Service-Learning partnerships are more than collaborations—they are pathways to drive practical results and lasting impact. Use service-learning as a front door to tap into a dynamic and innovative community eager to solve real-world challenges and create impactful solutions.

Practical Benefits:

Access to Human Resources: Collaborate with students and faculty who bring fresh perspectives, varied skills, and innovative ideas to your organization. Beyond serve-learning, you can connect with internships, fieldwork, and student clubs and organizations.

Custom Solutions: Leverage the Service-Learning Program to tailor opportunities to meet your specific goals, whether that is with a service-learning course, an internship, a student group, consultation with faculty, or access to other campus resources.

Guided Implementation: The Service-Learning team provides hands-on guidance to help you connect with university opportunities that directly contribute to your mission while equipping students with practical experience.

Impact Benefits:

Community Leadership: Strengthen your position as a community changemaker in the Boise State network. Collaborating often leads to other connections on campus, which can lead to other opportunities that benefit you or your organization’s goals.

Brand Visibility: Boost your exposure with 25k+ students, 3500+ instructors and professionals, countless alumni and community members who follow how Boise State contributes to our community.

Stakeholder Outreach: Expand your stakeholder networks, encourage long-term engagement, and build authentic relationships with the next generation.


Partnering with Boise State University isn’t just an opportunity to achieve short-term wins—it’s a doorway to a community of current and future changemakers.

Community Partner Highlight

Idaho Department of Fish and Game

“Boise State Service Learning has been an integral partner with Idaho Fish and Game’s Southwest Region Volunteer Habitat Program for over a decade. Students . . . [bring] extra enthusiasm and attention to detail, making our fall habitat planting and seed collection projects more productive and enjoyable. We could not accomplish as much for Idaho’s wildlife, without the help of Boise State Service Learning. Common phrases we hear from our community volunteers are, “Oh good, we have a lot of BSU students today,” or, “thank goodness for the BSU students and how hard they work.”

– Michael Young, Regional Wildlife Habitat Biologist
