Community Engagement
The community engagement initiatives component of the Center
focuses on the work that was largely associated with the Hart Volunteer
Center: connecting students to non-profit organizations for episodic
volunteer projects, transportation support for students engaged in work
with non-profit organizations, fall Alternabreak, connections with
Orientation Adventure (OA), and spring Alternabreak. Community
engagement initiatives also encompass the Davis Scholars Awards, a
$10,000 grant for a summer project and the Strauss Awards, a $10,000
prize for a junior who will implement a community based project during
the senior year.
Funding for Community Projects |
Summer and
Winter Community Engagement Grants
If you need
funding to support a community service project during the
summer or winter breaks from college, we encourage you to
apply for one of our grants. The intent of our modest
grants is to offset the expense of implementing your
project, whether in the states or abroad. Requests for
transportation, housing and honorariums are not eligible.
Be prepared to present your project to the campus community
upon your return from break. To apply, follow the
instructions on the Community Engagement Grant application
and submit it to the Draper Center via email at
drapercenter@pomona.edu or bring it to Smith Campus
Center 228.
