Community Partners and CPS
Community partnerships are at the core of CPS programs. We believe that partnerships should be mutually beneficial. Community partners play a significant role in the education of our students by providing opportunities to learn and guiding students through the exploration of social justice, course concepts, and personal and professional development.
CPS works with over 30 agencies and organizations to meet community needs. Our partners include agencies and organizations working with youth, homelessness, hunger, poverty, Latino migrant farm workers, technology, literacy, elderly, environmental justice, food security, community development, etc.
Becoming a Community Partner
CPS is continuously looking for new partnerships that will be beneficial to all involved. Community Partners are active with students and/or faculty for service-learning course.

Partnerships with Community Work Study
The Community Service component of the Federal Community Work-Study program enables eligible students to work part-time during the academic year in community-based positions that are paid, in part, by federal funds. Community agencies must provide the remainder of the students' salaries.
