The Center for Campus and Community Engagement’s Community Based Internship program creates outstanding partnerships between dedicated students and nonprofit/public-sector organizations. By engagement in community-driven work, students gain high impact experiential learning that results in authentic outcomes for communities. This showcase highlights the powerful, mutually beneficial partnerships between Ohio University students and community partners.
