Service: Long Island Against Domestic Violence : Chavez Community Changers [Junior Year Capstone]

The program, hosted by Stony Brook University and organized through the Career Center's Office of Externships and Community Outreach, brought together a community of service-driven individuals to collaborate on impactful projects. Partnering with the nonprofit organization Long Island Against Domestic Violence, the initiative focused on fostering campus-wide awareness and engagement. Students led all work meetings and progress updates, integrating university documentation, office resources, and campus knowledge to strengthen connections between the university and the nonprofit. Key activities included hosting informational meetings, conducting surveys, and developing educational content for public distribution to benefit the campus community.

This collaboration resulted in meaningful campus initiatives aimed at addressing domestic violence awareness while providing students with valuable exposure to community service efforts. Deliverables included publicity materials and educational resources designed to inform and engage the university population. By bridging professional nonprofit work with student-led efforts, this program exemplified the integration of experiential learning with service-driven goals to create lasting impact within the Stony Brook University community.
