To further these objectives, the Office of University-Community Partnerships (OUCP) provides financial support through its Community Partnerships Mini-Grant Program and graduate teaching assistance through its Community Partnerships Graduate Fellows Program to faculty who wish to incorporate service-learning components into their courses. In addition, OUCP, in collaboration with Volunteer Emory, the Ethics and Servant Leadership Program, and the Theory Practice Learning initiative seeks to promote communication with Emory's student volunteer organizations to develop more explicit pathways for connecting student volunteerism with the teaching and research missions of the university.

OUCP also provides an entry point for requests for assistance from community groups, organizations, and agencies in the Greater Atlanta area that may be submitted on-line, by fax (404-712-9892) or by telephone (404-712-9893). OUCP serves as a matchmaker, seeking out faculty, staff, and students within the university who possess the skills and expertise to address the needs of those seeking assistance.
