Community and Civic Engagement

In keeping with Elizabethtown College’s Educational Philosophy, the Center for Community and Civic Engagement provides opportunities to strengthen scholarship and leadership beyond the classroom, in order for students to learn actively through practical experiences and civic engagement. The office adheres to the College’s four signatures attributes in program development and provides opportunities for Community Service Work Study, academic service-learning, volunteer assignments, ongoing initiatives, fall and spring break service trips, Pennsylvania One Book, and large campus immersion projects such as Into the Streets and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service. The CCCE also manages the Disaster Relief Initiative for the College.

The Center for Community and Civic Engagement encourages our students to participate in cross cultural opportunities, enhance classroom learning instruction with experiential-learning and relationship centered opportunities to benefit themselves and the community. We adhere closely to the College’s Learning Goals.
