Services Provided to
Our Community Partners

Community partners play an important role in Service and Community-Based Learning. Not only do community agencies provide our students with opportunities to learn and serve in your agency or area, our partners also provide valuable feedback on learning objectives in courses. Below you will find ways for Regis to work with your agency. If you work at a community agency and would like to contact Regis University about possible service-learning opportunities in your organization, please fill out the following application form:

Community Partner SEVA Registration

After submitting the form, a Service Learning Director will contact you about hosting students at your organization. If you have any questions, please email:

Direct Service

Provide students opportunities to gain hands-on experience as a volunteer (usually short-term, given the nature of our program) in your agency for individual students or classes of 10 or fewer.

Advocacy

Provide opportunities for students to become advocates or provide other opportunities in which students do not have to be physically present at the service site to participate such as board membership, letter writing campaigns, participation in various demonstrations designed to increase public awareness about a given issue, etc.

Community-Based Research

Community-Based Research involves students assisting an organization or cause by conducting research relevant to the issue. Such data may be utilized in a number of ways including as background information for your agency in acquiring funding and as case studies.

Organizational Consultancy

Regis University has Master's level programs in business, non-profit management and information technology. Organizational consultancy involves a student or a group of students working with community partners on various organizational needs, such as grant writing, volunteer management, database construction, or marketing.
