Government & Not-for-Profit

How can you mobilize students and partner with colleges?

In many Congressional districts, college students can — if motivated — control elections. A third or more of today's students participate in community service activities.

Are institutions of higher education part of your strategy or audience?

Develop Your Vision >>

College and university campuses are dynamic resources — true national assets with great potential for delivering new ideas, energy, and inspiration. Just as this influential segment of our society is a resource to many, government and not-for-profit organizations can be a valuable resource to higher education. We can help your organization understand, communicate with, and partner with colleges and universities. Let K&A open the valve so positive outcomes can begin to flow in both directions.

How can you work with colleges and universities to reach students with opportunities, ideas, or challenges?
What motivates students today? What issues inspire, or activate, them?
How do students learn? What are they learning?
How can you reach students to energize them about employment, volunteer, or internship opportunities?

Whether you're looking for students to energize a campaign or support advocacy efforts, aiming to grow the ranks of your organization, or facing a challenging recruiting goal in today's competitive environment, the key to your success is not only in understanding the unique and complex culture of higher education, but also making sure it understands you.
