Joint Educational Project

The Joint Educational Project (JEP) is one of the oldest and largest service-learning programs in the United States.

Each year over 2,000 USC students enroll in one of several JEP courses that combine academic coursework with hands-on experience in neighborhoods surrounding the university. Students may also participate as volunteers on a non-credit basis.

By enabling students to learn firsthand about critical issues facing urban communities, JEP offers an authentic service-learning experience in schools, health-care facilities, agencies and community partners.

If you are near/on the USC campus and would like to become a partner with us, please fill out an application as a community member or as a student organization/class and we will get back to you.
