For Faculty & Staff

Support the partnership

Faculty and staff help connect students to meaningful service and make district needs visible.

Four ways to get involved

  • Point students our way

    Send students looking for community-engaged work to the Opportunities page, or reach out and we'll help match them to a pathway.

  • Bring service into your course

    Several pathways connect to coursework, independent studies, or practica. If a District 65 placement could enrich a course you teach, let's talk it through.

  • Flag a district need

    Know a District 65 team that could use extra hands? Tell us, and we'll map it to student capacity.

  • Help fund a placement

    Know of funding, fellowships, or assistantships that could sustain this work? We want to hear about it.

To get involved, email kristen-perkins@northwestern.edu. We're happy to find a rhythm that works for you.
