Empowering the Next Generation: Spur Impact’s Partnership with PR311 Students from the University of Delaware
Spur Impact is proud to engage the next generation of talented communicators in the nonprofit sector through an exciting partnership with PR311 students from the University of Delaware. This collaboration was designed to bridge the gap between emerging professionals and the vital work of Delaware's nonprofits. By connecting junior and senior Public Relations/Communications majors with local nonprofits, we are not only exposing students to a variety of missions and community impacts but also providing them with hands-on experience that nurtures their skills and passion for the sector. Through this initiative, we hope to inspire the next wave of nonprofit leaders and advocates by giving them the opportunity to interact with nonprofits, learn about their work, and apply their talents in a meaningful way.
As part of this project, participating nonprofits received a crafted marketing one-sheeter and a custom social media graphic, developed by these bright students. Each nonprofit was paired with a student team that conducted research, scheduled a virtual interview, and created compelling promotional materials to highlight their mission and participation in Do More 24 Delaware within a week! This experience simulates the fast-paced nature of public relations, offering students valuable real-world learning while equipping nonprofits with high-quality, engaging content. We are thrilled to support both Delaware's nonprofits and the future of the communications field through this innovative partnership—creating a lasting impact on both sides.

"Two of your students, A.D. and A.H., were assigned to [The Music School of Delaware] for the Do More 24 Delaware one pager project. I wanted to reach out to you and let you know how impressed we were with these young women. They were very well prepared for the initial interview, were able to integrate the interview and their research, took great care in their original draft of the one-pager, and took suggestions with open minds. Additionally, I was most impressed by their poise and professionalism."
