Community organizations interested in collaborating and hosting student academic service learning projects, sharing volunteer events and other partnerships can start here.

Academic Service Learning

Service learning projects can include:

• An experience (service provided, but no product created)
• A project (may have a product or tangible outcome met; for example: researching the product, space, and funding needed to put in a computer lab, hosting or participating in a health and wellness fair, creating a database to track donors, etc.)
• Research (collecting data, finding a product and writing a proposal. For example: "How viable would it be to start a new program?".)

This project must be related to a program area (i.e. Horticulture, Nursing, IT, Human Services Associate, Accounting, Administrative Professional, etc.) in collaboration with a faculty member or the Impact Program and communicated effectively prior to the start of the project.

Keep in mind, timeframes are limited to one-semester. Semesters run for 15 weeks beginning in January, May, and September. 

Volunteer Opportunities

The Impact Program maintains a volunteer portal where students can learn about volunteer opportunities and track their involvement online. Email marbess@gtc.edu to add an opportunity to the site.
