Welcome
The Institute for Civic and Community Engagement (ICCE) has earned a national reputation for community service learning, leadership development, and civic engagement. Our mission is to bring faculty and students together with city and county agencies, nonprofit service providers, policy makers, other educational institutions, and neighborhood residents to address the most critical social justice issues of San Francisco and the Bay Area. Increasing student learning while helping to co-create positive changes in our communities is at the heart of partnering with ICCE and SF State.
Benefits of Partnering with ICCE
Leadership Development and Capacity Building: We offer low-cost workshops that help your staff build skills.
Knowledge: Community work increases student learning.
Future staff: Energetic students help you provide direct services. Students often choose to work as professional staff where they performed service. If you hire them after graduation, they're already trained.
Future volunteers or donors: Students can promote your cause to their networks of friends, family, and other students. CSL students may become your biggest boosters! Recruit student volunteers at our Nonprofit Fair each semester.
In-kind contributions: You can list student services as an in-kind contribution in grant proposals. Last year, this was valued at $2.5 million.
Impact of CSL on Community Agencies
In 2003 and again in 2011, the CSL program conducted an outside assessment of the impact SF State students had on community-based organizations. A majority of survey respondents indicated that student volunteers significantly improved the quantity and quality of services their organizations offered, and were culturally competent, well prepared to volunteer, and able to provide high‐quality work.
