Background checks processing

In support of the Center for Community Engaged Learning's mission, Michigan State University runs a criminal background check on students who serve. You can learn more about this process here: Link.

Orientation to Community Engaged Learning

This online orientation is meant for students participating as part of a course. It is completed through D2L and takes students through the basics of safely entering community and being good stewards of the opportunity to serve. Faculty members can contact Stephanie Brewer, sbrewer@msu.edu, to enroll their students.

If you are a student who is interested in serving, but you are not part of a community-engaged academic course, please see our Looking to Volunteer page to learn more about the self-enroll D2L orientation and other general volunteer information.

Transportation Assistance

The Center for Community Engaged Learning (CCEL) offers Transportation Support Awards throughout the year. CCEL also provides complimentary CATA bus tokens to volunteers, which can be picked up in our office.
