The Center for Community Engagement provides resources to build a culture of civic responsibility and engaged learning at Eastern. The Center creates sustainable and effective relationships with community partners that benefit the local community, provide students with valuable life and employability skills, and support faculty in developing high-impact curricular practices. Opportunities are available in tutoring and mentoring in area schools, juvenile and adult rehabilitation, programs focused on cultural awareness, hunger and homelessness, animal rehabilitation, and health and wellness.

The Center:

  • Assists Eastern students in volunteer placements based on their schedules and interests
  • Provides Eastern students with training, orientation and reflection activities to improve their skills and make them effective volunteers
  • Empowers students to be proactive and develop their personal volunteer interests
  • Works with faculty to incorporate service-learning into their courses
  • Engages with community partners to ensure that programs meet their needs and provide students with a meaningful experience
