Institute for Ethical and Civic Engagement
The Institute for Ethical and Civic Engagement works to nurture and encourage ethical and civic education at CU-Boulder, to prepare our students for a lifetime of service to society as thoughtful, ethical and engaged citizens and contribute to the vitality of the many communities we serve from the local level to the global. The IECE is building on the momentum already established to make ethical and civic engagement a defining characteristic of our educational community. The health of our communities and democracy depends on an engaged and informed citizenry.

Service Learning & AmeriCorps Office
The Service Learning and AmeriCorps Office partners across campus and the community to support a teaching and research culture rooted in experiential learning. The office coordinates Colorado Campus Compact's Compact Service Corps AmeriCorps Program, offering the benefits and resources of AmeriCorps membership to students, faculty and community partners. Students earn education scholarship money for completing a term of volunteer service and additional financial support for professional development. Faculty use the AmeriCorps scholarship to structure and motivate community engagement initiatives in their curriculum. Community organizations partner with the Service Learning and AmeriCorps Office in order to receive high quality, long-term volunteers. Each year, the Service Learning and AmeriCorps Office awards grants to faculty and instructors who incorporate service-learning and AmeriCorps into their course. Grants are available for design of a new course or for a major re-design of an existing course, as well as for implementing such courses.
