COOP Service Internship Program

Community
We partner with nonprofit agencies and individuals in our surrounding area of Clinton, Utica, and Rome to provide educational experiences for students. By developing close relationships with community partners, we can provide meaningful service opportunities for Hamilton students.
Outreach
We seek to make Hamilton College a good neighbor to the surrounding community. Through direct service volunteering, internships, philanthropy, awareness and fundraising initiatives, Hamilton students make broad contributions to the well-being of the off-campus community.
Opportunity
We recognize that Hamilton students benefit by their interactions with the local community. By working in the local community, students gain personal and educational experiences outside the “bubble” of campus life. The community serves as co-educators for our students, leading them to make significant discoveries about themselves and their educational, vocational, and personal goals.
15 Years of Positive Change with COOP
Hamilton’s Community Outreach and Opportunity Project (COOP) connects Hamilton students and employees with nonprofit agencies in Clinton, Utica, Rome, and beyond. Through 14+ direct service programs, students create positive change while developing close and enduring relationships with local communities.
