CCE Staff Recruitment

The CCE is hiring for the 2009-2010 school year. Get paid to make a difference in the community! Peer Mentor, Project Leader, and Rural Tutor positions are available.

Peer Mentor
Peer Mentors work on a wide variety of assignments including representing the CCE as initial point of contact, fielding student and community requests for service learning involvement, monitoring participant placements and projects, record-keeping, and general office duties. They also work with local community agencies to coordinate service learning opportunities for students and respond to student requests for service learning involvement and assist with placement selection.

Project Leader
Project Leaders work individually and as a team to develop and lead community service learning projects, including recruiting and encouraging student participants, providing transportation to community sites, and facilitating reflection of project experiences.

Rural School Tutor
Rural tutor positions were created to help Washington State University and the Center for Civic Engagement respond to the America Reads Challenge to improve literacy among school-aged children in our communities. Each of these positions requires tutoring in a rural town (Colton, Colfax, Palouse, or Garfield), approximately 20-25 minutes from Pullman.

Get Involved in Your Community

To view civic engagement opportunities near campus and establish your own

portfolio of community service experiences while at WSU, visit our Students page and follow the instructions to create a service profile on SLPro.

Once you register with SLPro and sign up for a service opportunity, use the Monthly Record of Service Hours Form to track your hours. Your site supervisor must verify your hours on the lines provided. Their signature can either be on EACH line or at a DIAGONAL so their signature is each line where you have hours recorded. Submit your record of service hours to the CCE office located in CUB L48 to have them recorded into the SLPro database. Submission of service hours to the CCE is required of all student participants.
