Community partners

For local and global community partners

Indiana University is a multifaceted organization with hundreds of engagement programs ranging in size, type, and scope. If you don’t yet have a contact at the university, IU Corps can connect you to the students, faculty, and staff who want to work alongside you in your efforts.

Community engagement is a collaborative process that enhances academic and civic learning and personal growth. As a community partner, your experience and insights will position you as a teacher and source of knowledge that IU students, staff, and faculty can learn with and from.

It felt so good to connect with students in person, as well as with other community partners.
