Step up. Connect with a community. Be a voice that’s heard. As a student at Indiana University, you have the power to make a difference and it all starts with community engagement*. IU Corps seeks to connect you to volunteer opportunities where you can help address community-identified needs.
Examples of community engagement:
— volunteering to serve the needs of an agency
— completing a service-based internship
— participating in a community-based faculty-mentored research project
— taking a credit-bearing class (service-learning)
— being involved in a student organization with a service mission
*IU Corps uses the Carnegie Foundation's Elective Classification for Community Engagement, “The purpose of community engagement is the partnership of college and university knowledge and resources with those of the public and private sectors to enrich scholarship, research, and creative activity; enhance curriculum, teaching, and learning: prepare educated, engaged citizens; strengthen democratic values and civic responsibility; address critical societal issues; and contribute to the public good."
IU Bloomington holds 2020 Carnegie Community Engagement Classification endorsement.
