Are you someone who enjoys community service and social change? Well, the CCE is the office for you and we are hiring! There are three positions open for applications for the 21-22 school year. These positions include service shuttle driver, office manager and environment and sustainability service corps coordinator. Read a little more about them:

We are seeking regular drivers to commit to 2 Saturdays/month or those interested in being on ‘stand by’ for weekday requests or as substitutes for weekend needs. You will be paid from drop off to pick up and are able to do your homework in between driving.

The Office Manager position will support the mission of the CCE by providing organizational and communication support internally and externally for the department. This position will work as a member of the 4 person Office Manager team to provide logistical support to the director/department while performing a wide variety of tasks in support of student volunteer programs. The Office Manager position will work approximately 10 hours/week.
