U of M Students

Getting Started

The Center for Community-Engaged Learning (CCEL) supports University of Minnesota students who want to learn through real-world experiences and meaningful connections beyond the classroom. Whether you’re interested in volunteering, taking a community-engaged learning course, earning recognition for your community work through the Community Engagement Scholars Program, or studying away through National Student Exchange, CCEL offers programs and resources to help you get started and stay supported.
