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.
