With respect to community relations, GCR builds on existing partnerships and seeks to build new partnerships with our local school districts, churches, law enforcement agencies, businesses, chambers of commerce, cultural arts organizations, transportation agencies, neighborhood associations, hospitals, utilities, environmental groups, service providers, and many other types of non-profits and community based organizations in the district.  Click on the following link to learn more about Rio Hondo College’s recent and existing partnerships with the community: Rio Hondo College’s Community Partnerships.

Furthermore, the Office of GCR has taken the initiative of connecting Rio Hondo College students with volunteer opportunities ranging from one time volunteer activities at local community events to ongoing internships with elected officials.  To read about a few examples of the types of events and internships to which GCR has linked students, click here:  Volunteer Opportunities & Internships for Students
