Partner with Berry College

Strengthening Our Community Together

At Berry College, we believe strong partnerships build strong communities. We’re committed to working with – not unto – our neighbors to cultivate shared impact and mutual growth. Our students, staff and faculty are eager to contribute in meaningful ways, bringing time, talent and energy to support the great work already happening across Rome and Floyd County.

Why Partner with Us?

When you partner with Berry, you gain more than volunteers or interns. You gain a team of collaborators committed to long-term relationship-building and community well-being. We value your expertise and insight, and we work to ensure that every engagement is thoughtful, reciprocal and responsive to real needs.
