Center for Community and Civic Engagement

Work

Students can earn their work study financial awards or summer stipends by working off campus in local schools, libraries, and nonprofit organizations in sustainability, healthcare, education, and other fields.

Community Based Work Study

Each year, the CCCE partners with local schools, government, and nonprofits to offer off-campus Community Based Work Study (CBWS) positions to Carleton students. The CBWS program helps build mutually beneficial relationships between Carleton and the community, and fosters professional and personal growth for students.
