Community Partner Jamboree

Where Campus Meets Community

The Community Partner Jamboree is an annual fall-semester event hosted by the Community Engagement Center that connects students with local organizations committed to strengthening the community. Each year, nonprofit organizations, public agencies, schools, and community groups come to campus to share volunteer opportunities, internships, service projects, and ways for students to get involved beyond the classroom.

Students have the chance to meet directly with community partners, learn about local needs, and discover opportunities that align with their interests and career goals.

Whether you're seeking a one-time volunteer experience or a long-term commitment, the Community Partner Jamboree is a great place to start!
