High-impact practices (HIPs) in higher education are recognisably engaging and transformative (Kuh, O’Donnell & Schneider, 2017, Kuh, 2008) and students are reported to benefit significantly from undertaking multiple HIPs (Finley & McNair, 2013). This poster will highlight how the HIPs of authentic experiential learning in the form of community internships and collaborative projects with students-as-partners (SaP) were combined. Three case studies are presented of students from psychology, criminology and education. Students were able to develop unique, personalised internship experiences together with a community partner, Scouts Queensland. Internship projects all followed a core process involving evaluating need and researching potential interventions. Interns then each developed, implemented and reviewed a unique and effective intervention for relevant scout sections. This approach had demonstrated positive impacts on the students; developing capabilities and senses of ownership, connectedness and purpose. The internships were measurably beneficial to the scouts and the extended community.
