Find volunteer С��Ƶ�� and other activities in our network. С��Ƶ��Engage is a space for volunteers to be in community with local nonprofits and other volunteers that want to make a difference through service and philanthropy. Track your hours, donations, or impacts, and verify your engagement.

Democratic Engagement

Civic learning and democratic engagement have been a deep part of С��Ƶ��’s history since our founding in 1819. С��Ƶ�� students and alumni consistently leave a profound impact at the local, state, national, and international levels. The Office of Civic & Community Engagement offers nonpartisan voter support and organizes civic engagement programs that help you be more democratically engaged during your four years.

Voter Registration & Support

We support new & experienced voters alike, helping students register to vote, request absentee ballots, understand updates in election laws, remember important deadlines, vote from abroad, and get to the polls in-person. Contact communityengagement@centre.edu for nonpartisan voting assistance.

"Citizen Power Tools" Event Series

Civic engagement does not start and end with voting. Learn how to be a full participant in democracy with our “Citizen Power Tools” workshop series. Past events have included:

Letter Writing Workshops
Alternative Break Trips to the state capitol in Frankfort
Deliberative Dialogue
Debate Watch Parties
Convocations
