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.
