Connector Program
Welcome to Connector Program at Mesa Community College!
The Connector Program was developed in 1998 as a partnership between Mesa Community College and the Mesa Fire Department. The goal of this partnership was to design and implement a program as a resource for the Mesa Fire Department as well as a service learning site (Service Learning Site) for Mesa Community College students.
The Mesa Fire Department responds to many 911 calls that are not of an emergency nature. However, they observe that there are many social needs that are beyond the scope of the Mesa Fire Department's expertise and time. To better serve the citizens in the community, volunteers are trained to recognize these special needs and access agency resources to assist the citizens.
Connector volunteers can earn credit through the Service Learning program (Service Learning Site) at Mesa Community College. The mission of the Center for Service-Learning is to promote excellence in teaching and learning through the integration of academic study with active service. We collaborate with the community, encourage civic engagement, promote personal growth, and foster social responsibility. Connectors can earn money to pay for college, graduate school, or to pay back qualified student loans, through the AmeriCorps program.
