Program History:
The Civic Education Project (CEP) combines hands-on education and community service to promote civic responsibility among young people. Through innovative school-year programs and summer courses, CEP offers promising young people opportunities to learn and serve in communities across the country, developing the knowledge, experience and leadership skills they need to make a positive impact on the world.
CEP offers weeklong service-learning immersion programs during the academic year for students in grades 9 through 12, and intensive, three-week service-learning courses during the summer for students completing grades 7 through 12. Since the organization's founding in 1997, nearly 5,000 students have participated in 365 programs and courses and dedicated more than 125,000 total hours to service in host communities throughout the country.
CEP Offers Spring and Summer Programs:
The Civic Leadership Institute (CLI) is a three-week summer service-learning program for outstanding high school students completing grades 9 through 12. The program combines hands-on education, meaningful service, powerful speakers and seminars, and an unforgettable residential experience for a summer that students describe as "life-changing."
CivicWeek brings together outstanding high school students from around the country for a week of service, learning, leadership and laughter. The city becomes a classroom as students gain hands-on experience with important social issues and explore careers that make a difference in fields like human rights, law, public health and urban development. Together with an experienced staff team, groups of 12-18 students engage in meaningful service, meetings with top professionals and community leaders and hands-on learning in a fun and supportive living-learning community.
