Center for Community Engagement

At the UTEP Center for Community Engagement (CCE), we believe that every individual has the power to create positive change. Our programs empower student participants to practice servant leadership daily, enhancing their ability to serve their university, industry, and community.

The CCE connects the University's resources with community needs, fostering healthy and mutually beneficial relationships with local partners. We support community-based internship initiatives, civic engagement efforts like voter education, and faculty partnership development.

Our programs, such as the Community Engagement Courses and the Community Work-Study Mentorship and Internship Program, allow students to collaborate with local nonprofit organizations to fulfill academic requirements. This gives them the chance to apply and enhance the professional skills they are learning through their degree programs while also contributing to the support of local nonprofits.

Quote from Student Jenna M.: "Working at the Center for Community Engagement for the past year has allowed me to grow in confidence and non-profit work skills. My experience at the CCE has always been uplifting and engaging, especially regarding the various events we hold in collaboration with other colleges at UTEP or non-profit organizations such as Project Move or Make a Difference Day. The CCE has also uplifted me in internships and opportunities to grow within my major and potential field. Being a CWS intern is full of amazing moments, and I am glad I can share them with the community!"
