The Dartmouth Partners in Community
Service (DPCS) mission is to inspire Dartmouth students to join with Dartmouth
alumni and their families in addressing problems facing our society. The DPCS
program allows Dartmouth students to invest in their civic growth, personal
growth and liberal education by participation in full-time, leave-term
community service internships. Internships can be undertaken during a
leave-term or in the summer following graduation. Interns are matched with
Dartmouth alumni, who serve as mentors for the interns.
“I had an amazing and wonderful set of new experiences in my DPCS program -
‘Challenge Alaska.’I found my spirit in Alaska … It gave me not only my home
…but also my calling.” (Joshua Winterhalt ‘97)
“I had benefited immensely from the services and resources of Dartmouth, but
given little in return. The DPCS internship provided an opportunity to return
that balance to my life.” (Mark Kutolowski ‘99)
“I benefited tremendously from the unique mentor program that DPCS provides for
its interns . . . and from my host family in Philadelphia - also a Dartmouth
alumnus. They taught me the truth about life that I would not be able to learn
from an Ivy League education. It was an experience that has broadened my
horizon and helped me grow intellectually and emotionally.” (Chen Yang ‘97)
