In collaboration with campus and community partners, the Center for Civic Engagement & Learning’s (CCEL) Social Change Series spotlights different forms of civic engagement that contribute to social change, such as community service, advocacy, philanthropy, political involvement, and social responsibility. The CWRU community is invited to join for both hands-on projects and educational events to learn social change tools to apply to causes you care about:
