Community Partners

Are you a Phoenix-area Title I school or does your organization engage in community outreach addressing specific community needs and improving the quality of life in the greater Phoenix area?

If so, University Service Learning would like to partner with you and help you positively impact our community. You may qualify as a University Service Learning Partner Site and have Arizona State University student-interns placed at your organization at no cost to you!

University Service Learning provides opportunities for ASU students to engage in community service through credit-bearing service learning internship courses. Students enrolled in the USL 294/484 Service Learning Independent Placement internship select from a list of approved sites to provide 70-100 hours of service during the academic semester, depending on course in which student is enrolled:

• USL 294 requires 70 hours; USL 484 requires 100 hours
• FALL or SPRING Semester: approx 5 hrs/week (USL 294) or 7.5 hrs/week (USL 484)
• SUMMER Semester: approx 10 hrs/week (USL 294) or 15 hrs/ week (USL 484)
