About the company
In Community Engaged Learning (CEL), students take part in projects and initiatives where they learn about the world, themselves and the importance of community while developing relationships and supporting the goals of community organizations locally and internationally.
CEL projects can happen both on campus and community sites. The shape these projects take depend on the goals of our community partners—sometimes our projects focus on exchanging knowledge and skills, collaborating on specific tasks or co-creating projects with multiple community partners. Whichever shape our projects take, what matters to us is that they come from the community, reflect their goals and perspectives and involves them from start to finish.
