Pomerantz Career Center

The University of Iowa Community-Based Learning Program (CBLP) strengthens students' learning opportunities by linking the University's teaching, research and service mission to community needs and strengths. The CBLP is a resource that helps students develop into civic-minded community members, further preparing them to be successful in their careers and active citizens of the future.

As part of the Pomerantz Career Center, the CBLP helps students explore majors and careers and build their resumes through a wide variety of experiential education opportunities including volunteering, academic service-learning courses and internships with nonprofit agencies.
