The Goodrich Scholarship Program believes in active community engagement. Whether through fundraising for community non-profits, volunteering, service learning projects, rural initiatives or global engagement, these experiences matter to Goodrichers.
GO!
The Goodrich student organization called GO! has raised money for many non-profit organizations, including Big Brothers/Big Sisters of the Midlands, Partnership 4 Kids, Special Olympics Nebraska, and the American Cancer Society. The students work on leadership skills, have fun and reach out to the community to give back.The students also volunteer as ambassadors on-campus for the Partnership 4 Kids Futures Fair and off-campus for EducationQuest.
Rural Initiatives
Goodrich offers a place-based service learning class that takes students to significant sites throughout Nebraska to discuss an artist's work in its historic setting where they also serve the community in partnership with local agencies. The opportunities aim to present rural places as cultural destinations, communities that produce art and artists every bit as important, insightful and original as those found anywhere else in the world.
