Become a Community Partner | Center for Service-Learning and Volunteerism | SIU

The Congressional Higher Education Act directs colleges in setting up service programs. Non-profit community entities and government agencies at the local, state and national level can work with CSLV to provide students with volunteer service opportunities. 

The first step for community organizations is to refer to the Definition of Community Service.  

Step two, if the organization believes that they meet the guidelines, they can download the risk checklist form, complete the same and email it to the coordinator of the Center. The email is volunteers@siu.edu. 

If it is determined that the answers meet the requirements, the Center will approve the organization as a community partner and request information to be posted into the Saluki Volunteer Database. For questions or clarifications, please call the Center at 618-453-7520. We look forward to working with you!
