Placing UTS students at the heart of the community sector
For 30 years, UTS Shopfront has connected community organisations with the skills, knowledge and energy of UTS students.
Established in 1996 and based within the UTS Centre for Social Justice and Inclusion, Shopfront is a community-engaged learning program that partners with not-for-profit organisations and social enterprises to tackle real-world challenges through student coursework. Since its inception, the program has facilitated more than 1698 projects for over 1199 community organisations and supported an additional 231,927 hours of student volunteering.
