Community Service
Center for Civic Engagement
Roanoke's Center for Civic Engagement offers a variety of leadership and service opportunities for students. These programs include local service opportunities throughout the year with nearly 20 local agencies. Alternative Breaks take students outside the region for weeklong service efforts. And every new Roanoke student helps to build a home for a deserving family during summer orientation.
