Your site should have a designated office or public area (like a library or community center). For safety reasons, students will not enter private homes.
Become A Community Partner
Join The Movement For A Stronger Community
At the Senator Stephen M. Brewer Center for Civic Learning and Community Engagement, we’re not just running programs, we’re building a movement. Every event we host, every student we connect with a local nonprofit, every idea we help bring to life, and every community partnership we nurture is part of a bigger vision: creating real, lasting change in our communities.
We believe that civic engagement should be energizing, inspiring, and impactful, and we want you to be part of it! Whether you’re a student, a community member, or part of an organization, there’s a place for you in this work.
Service Site Requirements
Interested in hosting MWCC students through the Brewer Center? Awesome! Here’s what your organization needs to provide to ensure a meaningful and successful experience for everyone involved:
Someone from your organization should be available to oversee the project and support students, especially those who are just getting started in civic engagement work.
If you’re hosting students or large student groups, we’ll coordinate a site visit at a mutually convenient time to ensure everything is set up for success.
Throughout a student’s placement, we’ll ask you to complete a short evaluation and impact survey. This helps us understand how students are contributing to your organization and allows us to measure the broader impact they’re making across our community.
Create a welcoming space that encourages students to stay engaged and committed. A little mentorship goes a long way!
Together, we’re shaping the next generation of civic leaders and making a real difference in our communities.
