FAQs

Where is CCE located?

CCE is located in the John J. Hemmingson Center at Gonzaga University. The Hemmingson Center is located at 702 E. DeSmet. We are located in suite 206 and suite 010.

How much time does it take to volunteer with CCE?

It depends. There are a wide range of options. We have found that the more consistent time you put into service, the more meaningful experience you will have. However, we also know that students have many competing priorities. Most of our opportunities, like our youth programs and initiatives, require a weekly commitment for a semester or school year. Zag Volunteer Corps - Saturday of Service requires half day of service on a specific day. Campus Kitchens offers a flexible volunteer schedule as well.

I can't participate in one of CCE's programs, but I still want to commit to service. Are there other opportunities?

Absolutely! There are many other on-campus programs, as well as over 100 non-profit agencies that CCE partners with. To get connected to these opportunities, head to our website. This site will allow you to view hundreds of different agencies and opportunities and sign up on the spot. For Gonzaga students and faculty, you can sign up using your GU ID and password.

I signed up for a community engaged learning class. What does that mean?

Community engaged learning is a teaching and learning method that engages students in organized service activities and guided reflection in addition to their regular academic work in a classroom. The service activities benefit students and the community that they serve with and, in combination with reflection, enhance the academic curriculum of participating students. Community engaged learning is at the heart of Gonzaga's mission to educate students for lives of leadership and service for the common good. It is an excellent opportunity to directly apply your classroom learning while benefitting the Spokane community.
