Institute for Community Partnerships
Nonprofits and public agencies are essential to local communities. The Institute for Community Partnerships at Georgia Southern University aims to support the accomplishments of nonprofits and public agencies whose work benefits Bulloch County and its surrounding communities. Through partnerships with practitioners and connections to University resources, the Institute helps cultivate and strengthen our collective resources to meet community needs. Through this initiative organizations have further opportunity to communicate, collaborate, and build capacity to address community needs.
