Why Become a Community Partner?

By collaborating with Miami Dade College in our service-learning program, we find that agencies receive many benefits, some of which include:

• Infusion of people power
• Client/community partner needs met
• More informed/involved citizenry
• New ideas and energy
• Access to college resources
• Reinvigorate supervisors/staff

Further, a community partner also contributes to our student population by giving them an opportunity to:

• Enhance learning
• Connect theory to practice
• Explore majors & careers
• Foster civic responsibility
• Encourage life-long commitment to service
• Enhance employability
• Future employment opportunities, scholarships, increased self-esteem, and more.
