Invitation to Community Based Agencies
Belmont uses the Get Connected software platform, developed by Galaxy Digital, to allow agencies like you to post information about your organization, including needs (volunteer opportunities) and events (things to attend, but not as a volunteer), and give you a tool to enlist and manage our student volunteers coming to your agency for service-learning and other community service opportunities. Get Connected is used by numerous United Way agencies around the country, and Galaxy Digital has adapted it to more easily support the work that colleges and universities do in the area of service-learning and community service.
In order to have access to the Get Connected system and to insure that the interests of all parties are addressed, Belmont asks each agency to participate in an initial online training, provide a Certificate of Insurance ($1 million liability minimum), and if wishing to be considered as a "partner agency" for possible service-learning opportunities, complete a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) annually. (MOU link will download a fillable copy to your computer.)
If you are interested in having your agency considered for a site on Get Connected, please complete the Agency Signup Request Form.
If you have questions, please contact Tim Stewart, Director of Service-Learning at tim.stewart@belmont.edu or 615-460-5431.
