Abstract	The Volunteer UCF Community Connectors and Community Builders Program provides a connection between students and their community. The goal is to develop meaningful service opportunities for UCF students that contribute measurable results and systemic change through capacity building among adult learners. The ongoing, sustainable service experience for students may take place in the forms of internships, service-learning courses, and intrinsically motivated volunteer opportunities. This service opportunity is reflected in "The Golden Circle" illustration where we began with the "why--" to create sustainable community impact, and worked our way out to the "how--" utilizing community builders and community partners, and finally the "what--" to provide skilled volunteers seeking service-learning and intrinsic volunteerism. "The Adult Literacy League," as a community partner, requires building capacity to serve adult learners. These proceedings will highlight synergy between a university-based community service program and a partnering community agency serving adult learners.
