Civic Engagement Student Center 3rd floor, Suite 320 Overview The Office of Civic Engagement (OCE) provides opportunities for students, student organizations, faculty and staff to enhance their University experience by becoming engaged with the local community. The office is committed to developing active citizens who have an interest in contributing to the “greater public good” and facilitates service-learning opportunities that strengthen classroom learning while positively impacting the community. Extending the time and talents of the University community for the benefit of the metropolitan Atlanta community, the Office of Civic Engagement offers a multitude of one-day and on-going projects. In addition, Community Service Federal Work Study assignments — with sites such as the Centers for Disease Control, The Boys and Girls Clubs and Jumpstart — are available through this office. Volunteers Solutions, an online database provided by the OCE, allows students to pursue individual and group service experiences based on their interests and availability. Volunteer Solutions is accessible through the Office of Civic Engagement website, and it allows student/student groups to record their service hours for future use in group reporting and for developing co-curricular resumes. More than 300 community-based agencies post volunteer services opportunities here. The Office of Civic Engagement is committed to active citizenship and facilitating a meaningful experience for Georgia State students. Services Provided
