At SPC, the Community Becomes Your Classroom & Service to Others Connects you with Real World Experience.\u00a0CCLCE provides experiences that empower students to make an impact. You won\u2019t just find volunteer opportunities. You\u2019ll connect with experiences that empower you personally and professionally.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What is the Center?<\/em><\/h5>\n

The Center for Civic Learning and Community Engagement (CCLCE) works to provide meaningful opportunities in civic life so that you make a difference in your community while you learn and master new skills.\u00a0 We accomplish this through service learning, volunteer service, civic education and campus student engagement.<\/p>\n

The Center offers a variety of opportunities for \u00a0St. Petersburg College’s diverse student body. Through SPC\u2019s structured, service-learning curriculum you\u2019ll get a better understanding of the connection between your coursework and its application\u00a0to real-world situations. We provide a comprehensive education that provides you with hands-on experience while fine-tuning your critical thinking and problem-solving abilities to help you stand out in the job market after graduation.<\/p>\n

How can the Center help you?<\/em><\/h5>\n

SPC strives to encourage students\u00a0to be an informed, thoughtful and engaged global resident. By attending school board meetings, county commission, city council or other proceedings, you\u2019ll gain insight into local government operations.\u00a0 On campus, the CCLCE helps to foster student engagement through involvement in SGA and other club-sponsored activities. We also partner with the Center for International Studies to provide international service-learning opportunities helping others not only at home but abroad.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Service Learning –\u00a0<\/strong>SPC\u2019s structured learning experience combines organized community service with specific objectives to enrich the\u00a0student\u00a0experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities. The real world becomes your classroom and you learn the connection between your academic coursework and the services you\u2019ll provide in your field. You\u2019ll get hands-on experience while building professional relationships with potential post-graduation employers.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Volunteer Service –\u00a0<\/strong>CCLCE can connect you with local, non-profit organizations looking for volunteers who wish to provide community service for a specific cause or work with others in the community to solve a problem. You can make a lasting impact on the life of a child through mentorship or tutoring, or assist with a short-term project, such as building a house for Habitat for Humanity. Whatever your interest, the CCLCE can help you make a difference as part of a class or during your non-classroom hours independent of a class or student club.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Civic Education –\u00a0<\/strong>Attending city council meetings, legislative hearings or seminars on pubic policy issues are all important ways to increase your civic health. The CCLCE will keep you updated on local and national opportunities to stay informed.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Campus Student Engagement –\u00a0<\/strong>CCLCE helps you interact with campus life through a variety of scheduled on and off campus activities that\u00a0encourage a conscious\u00a0commitment\u00a0to an invigorated\u00a0democratic spirit.\u00a0Community engagement activities foster your\u00a0knowledge and sense of responsibility for your individual roles\u00a0in a democratic society. We believe individuals who are knowledgable and actively engaged in the political process are the\u00a0foundation of social progress.\u00a0 Join one of the established SPC clubs, serve on student government, or just share your unique gifts and talents with the entire campus community. Being involved on campus will help you make the most of your SPC experience and foster long-term relationships with your fellow students and professors.<\/p>\n
