the Site Bank
The Site Bank is an opportunity to connect you with some dedicated and informed student volunteers. The Site Bank is a searchable database only available to staff and student leaders from our Chapter schools — over 150 community engagement programs — who are committed to building a relationship with the organizations and the communities they serve with.
With an approved listing, you'll be able to login and update your information at anytime for the eager eyes of student and staff leaders. Profiles include organization and contact information, project details, issues of focus, group size, required equipment, and times of year you're able to work with groups.

Types of Community Organizations
Break Away works with colleges and universities who are interested in working with organizations of all types, sizes, and capacities. Therefore, the Site Bank database includes profiles for organizations that are able to work with community engagement groups in a variety of ways. To help Chapter schools better understand how your organization is able to work with short-term volunteer groups, we have made a distinction between two main categories of organizations — Community Partners (CP) and Intermediary Organizations (IO).
-
A community group or nonprofit that exists to work with the assets and needs present in communities (i.e. food security or ecosystem restoration) to serve their clients and constituents. Volunteer groups may work with one (or many) Community Partners during a service-learning experience.
-
Have greater capacity in working with volunteer groups and is able to assist with the development of the entire volunteer experience. IOs will often provide housing, meals, transportation, project coordination, educational workshops, and/or cultural experiences and typically charges a fee for these services. Volunteer groups typically work with one Intermediary Organization during a service-learning experience.
