The Center for Civic Engagement and Service at FAU is an organization that establishes connections between the school and the community. The Jupiter branch is the most recent to join in with the likes of the other campuses. the Boca Raton center was established in 1996, by Daniel Weppner.
The organization helps to find students volunteer activities on and off campuses. The organization tracks the students volunteering and once the student has completed their degree here at FAU the hours are logged onto the students transcript and the will be receive proper recognition and in some cases, possibly even an award.
The center host programs throughout the year such as food and blood drives, adopt a child or family for the holidays and alternative spring breaks, to which the students travel outwards to help those who are less fortunate. The center has worked along side Red Cross and Habitat for Humanity. So if you are looking for another way to stay in touch with the community, while getting credit for it, then check them out.
