The Office of Community Engaged Learning is hiring for the summer and next academic year. Working in the CEL office is a great way to gain skills, connect with campus and community, and make a positive difference.

For this summer, we are hiring two students to help with the Sprout Garden. One person will focus on maintaining the garden (planting, weeding, watering, harvesting) and leading volunteer groups in the garden; and one will plan and lead education sessions for area youth. Both positions are approximately 6-7 per week. This is a great opportunity for someone who will be in Des Moines for the summer and has some flexibility with their schedule.

For next academic year, we are hiring:

-Sprout Garden Coordinator
– IRIS Coordinator
– Events & Training Coordinator
– Social Media and Marketing Intern
– Food Security/Next Course Food Recovery Coordinator

Students are part of the “Community Engagement Peers” team, who represent the CEL office and meet with students 1-1 to get connected to the local community. Positions are 6-7 hours a week and are paid $10.05/hr.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, with March 20 as a priority deadline. Visit https://www.drake.edu/community/learningservice/studentopportunities/employment/ for more information on each of the roles.
