You can find potential community organizations that the Service-Learning Program has worked with in the past on the following Potential Partners list. 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)
