Urban Community Partnership Initiative

The community service learning internship in Harrisburg will give College of Health and Human Development students a unique urban community experience. For students who are interested in the helping professions this internship experience will serve as a foundation for professional work in urban settings. Also, if students are interested in community based research and service learning, this internship will enable students to gain hands-on experience in working with diverse populations.

Faculty members who are interested in conducting research within Harrisburg should coordinate their efforts with the UCPI Director to ensure that duplication of university and community resources do not occur. The UCPI Director is keeping a comprehensive inventory of community needs and university resources that will be updated on a regular basis to assist faculty members as they explore their research needs and the needs of the local community.
