VIP-Community Service Learning - Community Partners

Partner with us to work with students who want to make an impact.

Hire UWindsor students who want to make an impact in their local community through the VIP-Community Service Learning Program (VIP-CSL). We match local non-profit or publicly funded organizations with a pool of motivated students eager to volunteer and contribute. VIP-CSL students come from a variety of programs and are ready and willing to delve into task-based or project-oriented roles that provide an opportunity for them to apply their discipline specific knowledge and gain relevant skills for their future career.

How does it work?

  • VIP-CSL students are vetted through a competitive admission process including an application, resume submission, interview, and academic review. 
  • Successful applicants are matched with your volunteer position based on your description and requirements. 
  • Students begin volunteering at the end of the first month of the academic term (September, January, May). 
  • Students work with a supervisor at your organization or at community events to complete a minimum of 40 volunteer hours over 8-12 weeks. 
  • Students can be assigned to a special project or integrated into your day-to-day operations.

How to become a UWindsor community partner

  • Contact our Applied Learning Coordinator to request a VIP-CSL Volunteer Position Posting Form 
  • Positions can be submitted any time before the deadline. The deadline for each term is 2-3 weeks before the term begins (mid-December for Winter, mid-April for Spring/Summer, mid-August for Fall).
