Partnering with CCES

CCES makes a distinction between organizations we work with and our 鈥Community Partners.鈥 Community Partners are organizations that have committed to a long-lasting partnership with AU and its students.

Community Partners complete semesterly Volunteer Needs Surveys so CCES can match student volunteers with Community Partner needs, provide feedback on experiences with CCES and AU students, attend exclusive networking and volunteer recruitment events, and more!
