The Common Partners Program is the central
community service organization at Union College. Housed on the second floor
of the Center for Spirituality and Service and guided by the Office of
Student Development, Common Partners strives both to provide students with
volunteer and learning opportunities and the local community with quality
student volunteers to fill its needs.
Through partnerships with over 30
local non-profit and government organizations, the Common Partners Program
offers nearly 20 on-going and one-time programs that enhance opportunities
for student involvement.
In the 20006-07 academic year,
44% of the
undergraduate student body, together with faculty and staff, contributed
more than 13,000 hours of service to our community.
