Program Profile
DukeEngage in Durham
DukeEngage in Durham offers immersive, structured and full-time summer service placements focused on introducing Duke students to social, economic, cultural, and environmental issues in Durham, NC through the work of local non-profit agencies. Each participant is matched in advance of the program with one local agency from a choice of over 30, including community partners of the nationally recognized Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership. DukeEngage staff members have thoroughly evaluated the volunteer work each student will perform. In addition to working directly with the staff of a local agency, participants join in a variety of orientations, trainings, readings, special presentations, historical and neighborhood tours, and weekly reflection sessions to deepen their knowledge of Durham and the ways local citizens engage their city.
