Campus to Community Partners
Campus to Community Days are 3-4 hour service work sessions with community partners. Community partners interact with many social issues including poverty, homelessness, food security, sustainability, youth, women’s services, health and education. We work with several non-profit organizations as Campus to Community Partners to provide our students with a rewarding experience as they give back to our community.

- Creating a sense of achievement as a group.
- Experiencing first-hand the impact your organization makes in the community.
- Engaging our group in a diverse community surrounding campus.
- Raising awareness for your group.
