Advocates for Community Engagement

Are you passionate about community service, leadership, and advocacy?  Do you want a job that makes a difference?

Apply to be an ACE!  The Advocates for Community Engagement (ACEs) are IU undergraduates who serve as liaisons between service-learning classes and local non-profits. Through the support of paid undergraduate assistantships with the Office of Service-Learning, each ACE serves with a specific agency for at least two semesters.  The ACE program also provides leadership development and a campus community of peers for students of diverse backgrounds who have a common commitment to service.

The Office of Service-Learning is currently hiring for two ACE positions to start in January 10’: Hoosier Hills Food Bank and Stone Belt. To learn more or to apply on-line, visit http://www.indiana.edu/~copsl/aces.shtml.

Deadline for applications: November 6th, 2009 at 5pm.
