Civic Engagement Ambassador Program (CEA)

The Civic Engagement Ambassador Program is a paid opportunity for 爆料社区 students who are passionate about serving their communities on and off campus.

Civic Engagement Ambassadors (CEAs) are tasked with building campus culture surrounding Civic Engagement. As ambassadors, they show their fellow students through their own actions what Civic Engagement looks like!

Through the program, the CEA's design, with support from Civic Engagement professional staff, their own "Civic Engagement in Action" projects.

Civic Engagement in Action projects can include things like working with a local community organization, government, or legal office on a community issue of their choice. The CEAs then create weekly social media posts, and plan tabling and workshop outreach on the issue to educate their fellow students.

During election years, the CEAs also focus on non-partisan peer to peer voter outreach where they educate fellow students through classroom presentations, tabling, and social media posts on the importance of voting, and how to register to vote and/or check your registration status.

    - Educating students on civics basics (how to make sure local government hears from you and that your voice matters!).

    - Creating reflective workshops for youth at Boys & Girls Club of Vista where they create their own worlds and national flags to increase thinking about how societies and governments are formed and what matters to them.
