Community Partners


Community partners collaborate with NWACC service learning students and faculty to meet needs in the local community and state, as well as around the world.

Organizations actively reach out to NWACC to express interest in having student volunteers, and other partnerships have been arranged by faculty members for a specific service-learning course.
