the Worcester community. By engaging in meaningful community service, students
can have a positive impact in the lives of others, gain leadership skills, learn
the value of civic responsibility and experience the richness and diversity of
Worcester. Clark students have a strong history of being active in the Worcester
community, particularly in the Main South area. "Clark students have a strong history of being active in the Worcester

comprehensive database of community agencies and volunteer needs, so whether you
are interested in volunteering at the Main South Community Development
Corporation, the Boys & Girls Club or teaching ESL classes, the CEV Center can
help you find an appropriate placement.
Throughout the year, the CEV Center organizes many community oriented events
and forums at Clark including the Volunteer Fair, the Food for Thought Dialogue
series and Just Do It Day. The staff also works closely with faculty members to
develop and implement community based learning courses. Additionally, the CEV
Center also advises several student groups that are active in the Worcester
community, including the Fiat Lux Honor Society, the Making A Difference
Scholars and the CARE (Community Action Reform Education) Initiative.
