Do you have a project idea you need help with? Looking for volunteers?

There are many ways to partner with Drake and The Office of Community Engaged Learning & Service exists to help you navigate your way to faculty, staff, students, and other resources. If you are interested in establishing a service partnership with Drake, connect with us!

Benefits for Community Partners:

Think outside of the box as you consider ways to engage with Drake students. We use the Pathways for Civic Action and Social Change framework, which identifies 6 strategies for creating change: Community Engaged Learning & Research, Direct Service, Philanthropy, Community Organizing and Activism, Policy & Governance, and Social Entrepreneurship and Corporate Social Responsibility.
