Community Partners Survey

Questions marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory.

Welcome to the Community Partners survey!  The goal of this survey is to gain feedback from community partners so Baylor volunteers can use this feedback to better prepare and serve our Waco community. 

My name is Mallory Homeyer and I am currently serving through Americorps in the area of Student Activities at Baylor.  My tasks during my Americorps contract focuses on assessing and enhancing all types of student service and volunteerism in the Waco community on behalf of Baylor students.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at Mallory_Homeyer@baylor.edu or 254.710.3015.

Thank you for taking time to complete this survey!

Would you be interested in hosting student interns for summer or school year?  (These students would be committed to 6-8 weeks of 9-5 work that could be specific to their discipline of study or an opportunity to gain skills unrelated to their major.  The students would be more than volunteers, focused on a commitment to public service, community building and social change.  They would be capacity-building internships rather than solely direct service).
