Respond to the needs of our communities, make a difference in civic life and enter into mutually beneficial partnerships with community organizations through the College’s Community Engagement & Collaboration program. Whether you participate in a one-time project or a long-term partnership, we offer many opportunities to address community needs and improve civic life.
From a day of service for MLK Day or mentoring elementary school children; to researching the housing crisis in Idaho or publishing stories with the Idaho State Historical Society; to addressing a community-identified problem through courses such as The Prison Experience, Community Psychology, Schools & Society and Community Health – there is so much to discover and so many ways to deepen the practice of community partnership, deliberative democracy and civic engagement.
