Catalogue for Philanthropy


 

National Student Partnerships (NSP) is the nation's only year-round, student-led volunteer service organization that links people in need with the resources and opportunities necessary to become self-sufficient.

 

Founded by college undergraduates in 1998, NSP operates a national network of drop-in resource centers, staffed by student volunteers from area colleges and universities. Working one-on-one with low-income community members (clients), NSP volunteers provide intensive on-site and referral services, which enable clients to achieve their goals.

NBC says NSP is "Making a Difference"
NBC“College students can make a difference in their communities,” said correspondent Lisa Daniels. “They are determined enough to cut through the red tape and help clients find a job, housing or government assistance, whatever their needs should be.”

NSP is pleased to report that for the period of September 1 through October 10, 2008, all local offices collectively saw 40 percent more clients than for the same period last year. Local offices conducted 53 percent more client meetings and saw a 43 percent increase in the number of clients referred to NSP. Numbers for job and housing placements are also up! We are excited to continue seeing the possibilities that become available with two Site Coordinators in every office, high levels of Site Coordinator and National Office staff retention, a regionalized focus for Program Managers, and high quality trainings.
