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.

The Office of CommunityEngagement@Wayne has built many relationships with organizations throughout the metropolitan Detroit area. These relationships have led to volunteer opportunities for our students. Our community partners with contact information are listed below. Please give them a call and get to working in the community! If you are looking for upcoming events from these organizations, check our volunteer opportunities page.
