Are you or your organization interested in becoming a partner for Campus Kitchen? In doing so, you can collaborate with us to re-purpose unused food for members of our community.

Are you in the early stages of a community-based project? The Office of Civic & Community Engagement will review requests for one-time seed-funding from community organizations on a rolling basis. Questions and to apply, please contact Shelley Sizemore.

Are you in need of a group of individuals to support an event or another one-time need? We work with organizations throughout the Wake Forest community to connect volunteers to community organizations.

Does your community organization need help completing a project? We work with students across campus looking to gain experience in community engagement or the non-profit sector. This may include students who are part of DashCorps for a project spanning the academic year; working with a class for the semester; or partnering with a club, team or department for an extended period of time.

Looking for a part-time intern? We can help you find a student looking to gain professional experience and help with capacity-building for your organization on a part-time basis.

Need a little more help beyond a part-time intern? Be considered for a full-time placement for a student during the summer months. This may include placement for a Wake Forest student participating in our Summer Nonprofit Immersion Program (SNIP) or the Public Religious Internship & Ministry Exploration (PRIME).
