The Civic Education Project (CEP) is a Model Service-Learning Program that differentiates itself by providing the following: * Eye-opening service experiences. Whether at a health clinic, soup kitchen or school, CEP arranges all service experiences in partnership with reputable local community organizations. * Academ...ic rigor and integrity. CEP programs, housed within Northwestern University's Center for Talent Development and affiliated with Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth, are highly competitive and facilitated by experienced and well-trained program staff. * Exposure to amazing people. Program participants converse with everyone from peers to policymakers, the homeless and the hungry, and everyone benefits from the interactions. * Fun. CEP participants enjoy serving, learning, reflecting, relaxing and exploring exciting cities around the country! In many ways, CEP is defined by its students as much as its staff. Together, we are a diverse group of individuals eager to learn and then lead in making a difference in the lives of others and having a positive impact on society.
