Are you interested in getting involved in the local community? Are you/do you want to be a changemaker but you’re not sure how to get started? The Community Engagement Peers (CEPs) in the Office of Community Engaged Learning want to meet with you!

CEPs are trained in best practices for community engagement and are highly connected to the campus and Des Moines’ communities.

They can:

• Share about current/potential partnerships and volunteer opportunities
• Provide perspective on community engagement opportunities
• Offer insight into the student service experience
• If you’ve taken the Pathways for Civic Action & Social Change survey, they can review your results with you
• Discuss possible collaborations

Each of the Community Engagement Peers hold office hours in the Office of Community Engaged Learning (lower level of Cowles Library) and would be thrilled to meet with you.

Learn more about the CEPs and their interest areas and schedule a 1-1 meeting in Starfish. Contact servicelearning@drake.edu for more information.
