The Student Organization Partnership Program (SOPP) seeks to meet the needs of both UW–Madison students wanting to engage in community-based work through Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) and community partner organizations seeking to build long-term partnerships with these RSOs. The goal is to better connect the RSOs with the Morgridge Center to enhance the quality and quantity of community-based work, a key aspect of UW–Madison’s Civic Action Plan.
SOPP supports RSOs and community partners in building sustained and mutually beneficial relationships through workshops, individual meetings and reflection sessions. In addition to community engagement workshops and support, RSOs will have access to:
- $150 print card to the RSO Print & Resource Center
- Transportation options to community sites over 35 minutes away via Lyft passes or Fleet vehicle access
- RSO development and networking opportunities
- Advertisement opportunities through MCPS networks
The application to become an affiliated org is closed.
