Community Partners
CommunityEngagement@Wayne would not exist if it weren’t for the many community organizations that work with us to provide our students with volunteer and experiential learning opportunities. In order to become a community partner, organizations must have the following:
- Liability insurance that covers volunteers
- Specific opportunities available for students
- On-site supervisor
If interested in becoming a community partner with the Office of CommunityEngagement@Wayne please call 313-577-0189 to schedule a meeting.
