The Vincentian Institute for Social Action (VISA) currently
works with a series of agencies. In establishing these
relationships, the Institute identified agencies committed to
alleviating poverty and improving opportunities for at-risk groups.
All partners have demonstrated a need for collaboration with the
University, share an objective of alleviating poverty and have a
high potential for community-based research. Below are the
characteristics of VISA service partners:
- Consistent with the program themes of Homelessness, Hunger,
Education, Healthcare and General Poverty
- Willingness to work with students and/or faculty
- Potential for sustainable and measurable opportunities for
service and community-based research
- Service hours during the University’s academic calendar
- Service assignment must meet an immediate and consistent need
of the organization
- When possible, agencies should provide students with direct
contact with the population being served
