Become a Partner Campus

Campus Compact Illinois provides partner institutions’ faculty, staff, students, and administrators – anyone on your campus who works with service-learning, civic and community engagement, and community service – with resources, funding, and training to enhance your campus-community connection. Benefits of membership include:

• In-service workshops and on-site consultations: At member request, campus visits are completed by staff to provide in-service workshops, speeches, planning assistance, or other forms of consultation.
• Grants: Campus Compact Illinois offers grant opportunities to our member campuses to support national service days, community service events and service-learning activities.
