At Sacramento State’s Community Engagement Center (CEC), students turn academic knowledge into real-world, career-ready experience through meaningful community partnerships. By participating in experiential learning programs like Academic Internships, Community-Engaged Learning, Service Learning, and Semester of Service, students engage directly with local organizations to address critical community needs—gaining valuable hands-on experience while making a difference in their communities.
Your gift to the CEC Endowment Fund fuels student success and deepens community impact. Through immersive community-engaged learning opportunities, students grow as civic-minded leaders and professionals with career-ready relational and technical skills. Simultaneously, faculty benefit from Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs) that provide support and training to integrate experiential learning into their teaching and research—enhancing student outcomes and enriching course content.
Whether students are collaborating with local nonprofits, addressing food insecurity, inspiring 4th-12th graders through the Writing Partners letter exchange, or contributing to sustainability initiatives, your support ensures that experiential learning remains a cornerstone of the Sacramento State experience.
Give today to invest in student success and strengthen the vital connection between campus and community. Together, we build a more engaged, informed, and compassionate region.
We appreciate your partnership in building stronger connections between our campus and community for student success in college and career.
