Our Story
The CCE is dedicated to promoting lifelong values of commitment to service and civic engagement among Lawrence communities by serving as a source of information and support for students, faculty, staff and related organizations. Staff aims to accomplish this by:
- meeting with students one-on-one
- facilitating communication between student service organizations through monthly service council meetings
- providing support to faculty interested in community-based engagement
Activities supported by the CCE include ongoing programs such as mentoring and tutoring services within the Fox Cities area, annual events in collaboration with student organizations, and one-time service-oriented opportunities for both individuals and student organizations. Every effort is made to match volunteer interests with available service opportunities.
