URL S4 Database of Community Partners

We have more than 400 Service Learning Community Partners. The database allows you to search by focus area, key words, city, type of service (remote vs. in-person), etc. We highly recommend collaborating with sites and creating a list of partners for your students to contact.

We have created this Google Doc of highlighted volunteer opportunities (updated each semester) based on requests from Community Partners. The same information is in our database, but this is a friendlier first stop for students.
