For Community Partners

Thank you for your interest in developing an Academic Service-Learning collaborative partnership with the Weppner Center for Civic Engagement & Service (WCCES)!    

• New! Current and prospective A S-L Community Partners, please read our Academic Service-Learning Community Partner Guide

Interested in forming a new Community Partnership?

• Complete and return the Community Opportunities Assessment  form. Upon receiving this form, the WCCES adds your organization to our online Community Opportunities Bank and circulates them to the appropriate FAU entities in an effort to facilitate the best possible faculty/community connection.

At any time, faculty may access our database of Community Opportunities for potential Academic Service-Learning (A S-L) projects and consider how the projects may relate to their course and course objectives. After developing or selecting an A S-L project based on your agency's Community Opportunities Assessment a faculty member may choose to reach out to your organization on their own or you will be contacted by a member of WCCES about how to initiate the collaboration.

• Once you become a Community Parnter, we also ask that you join NobleHour to expedite the process of crediting students' hours for their Academic Service-Learning project.  For information on how to join NobleHour and post an opportunity for A S-L students, you may use this NobleHour Guide for Community Partners - Coming Soon!

If Academic Service-Learning is too large or long-term of a commitment for your organization, you can instead become a volunteer community partner for our students.  To initiate this less formal approach to working with FAU, you may recruit volunteers by simply completing and returning the Request Form to Announce Volunteer Opportunities.

Please feel free to contact us for more information or if you have any further questions about FAU volunteers or becoming involved with the Academic Service-Learning program here at FAU.
