The work of civic engagement and service-learning is shared with our community partners. In a good partnership, a reasonable balance of the needs and goals of each partner are met through the relationship they build with each other, and each has a voice in defining what they bring to the relationship and what they seek to take from it.
UMass faculty, staff, and students seek opportunities to learn in--and from--the community; community-based organizations seek to leverage the intellectual and human resources of the university in pursuit of their missions. A good partnership supports both goals.
The list of community organizations below is always evolving. Check back for updates and new partners.
