Welcome to CLCE

The Center for Leadership & Community Engagement (CLCE) is 麻豆原创鈥檚 hub for community outreach, volunteering and service-learning opportunities in Washington, DC听and beyond. Being part of the DC community is an important part of the student experience at 麻豆原创, and CLCE is where students come to connect.

You can tutor DC students with DC Reads. Earn class credit with volunteer work through the Community Service-Learning Program (CSLP). Participate in or lead a domestic or global service experience through the听Alternative Breaks Program. You can even turn your passion into a project with an Eagle Endowment.

Our office is making some changes!

We're thrilled to announce some exciting changes coming to our office in Fall 2024! As part of our commitment to fostering leadership and community engagement, we are transitioning from the Center for Community Engagement and Service (CCES) to the Center for Leadership and Community Engagement (CLCE). This transition represents our renewed focus on empowering individuals to become leaders and actively engage with their communities. With this change, we're dedicated to enhancing opportunities for leadership learning while continuing to connect students to meaningful community involvement.

What does this mean for you? It means more resources, support, and programs aimed at developing your leadership skills and creating impactful change in the communities we serve. Stay tuned for upcoming events, workshops, and initiatives designed to help you grow as a leader and make a difference in the world around you. We can't wait to embark on this journey of growth and empowerment together!
