Community & Civic Engagement

How to get involved

Students          Faculty          Community


C3 connects the college and Cedar Rapids community to support students’ development as active and educated citizens and to promote positive, community-driven social change.

What we do

We create connections between students, classes or departments and community organizations with whom they could build a reciprocal working relationship. We let students know about resources available to them in the community, advertise events and volunteer opportunities and connect students/classes with organizations from which they could learn more about their chosen subject/career path while meeting a community need.


Our vision is that students will prioritize working within and understanding community in a lifelong pursuit of social justice.
