Become a Community Partner

Why partner with CPS?

• Be a co-educator of Tulane students, offering students practical experience as they apply their academic knowledge to your Public Service project
• Participate in a mutually interactive partnership designed to support your organization in its mission
• Receive one-on-one support from CPS staff in arranging your public service activity
• Attend workshops designed to strengthen your Public Service activities and your organization

How to become a partner:

For consideration as a partner, please:

1. Review the CPS Community Partner Handbook (pdf).

2. Fax a signed Experiential Education Agreement (pdf) and proof of liability and workman's compensation insurance to (504) 862-8061. If changes to the agreement are necessary, e-mail modified EEA to ccp@tulane.edu in order for them to be reviewed and approved by Tulane's General Counsel.

3. Once your signed agreement is submitted, please create an agency profile and a Public Service Activity (PSA) description on CPS On-Line, our online partner database that faculty and students use when choosing service-learning projects and public service internships.

Following are resources that may help you to identify and plan for successful Public Service Activities:

• List of commonly requested Public Service Products and Activities (pdf)
• Job description and semester plan template (pdf)
• Orientation checklist (pdf)
