Alongside this, students participate in bi-weekly 2 hour training and reflection sessions with the CSC and members of the In Community cohort.
Typically, the CSC has 8-10 Community Partners participating in this program. You may express preference in a position on the application, however there is no guarantee of a position with an organization. The CSC matches students and Community Partners based on scheduling.
