Educational Program Design & Community Engagement Coordination

The contract seeks a subcontractor to design and coordinate an academic program that bridges classroom theory with hands-on engagement across Panama’s civic, nonprofit, business, religious, and government sectors. The initiative aims to immerse students in real-world contexts where communication theories are applied to community challenges, fostering experiential learning and cross-cultural collaboration. The program must be thoughtfully structured to align academic objectives with the operational needs of local organizations, ensuring meaningful participation and measurable outcomes for students and partner entities alike. The opportunity is listed under NAICS code 541611, indicating it relates to management consulting services, and is issued by the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System. Proposals are due by July 16, 2026, with the solicitation posted on June 23, 2026. While no specific location details are provided for performance or contact information, the program's activities will primarily unfold in Panama, requiring the contractor to manage logistics, partnerships, and cultural adaptation remotely or through on-site coordination. The subcontract nature suggests this work supports a broader institutional initiative, likely tied to international education or service-learning goals within the Minnesota state system.
