Benefits of CEP

Here's what some past participants have said about their CEP experiences...

"When I woke up the first morning of the Civic Education Project, I had no idea how tightly closed my eyes had been. But after working for a week in Nashville, Tennessee, with the homeless, hungry and impoverished, the importance of my role in that community, and the potential role of public service in all communities, woke me up."

"Every student should go through a program like this. It helped me learn so many things that I would not have learned in school."

"I feel like I truly have things to feel passionate about now, and I realized that even as a single person, I can touch countless people in my lifetime if I only just try."

"Excellent instruction combined with important and intensive course material and fascinating field experiences make this a program that is impossible to forget."

"I learned more about myself through CEP. All the experiences I had helped me gain a better understanding of who I am as well as how I want to live my life. This experience changed my way of thinking."

"The educational aspect of the program was very enlightening, but I learned the most about life from my fellow group members. They were so diverse, yet so accepting."

"I came home from CEP completely inspired and wanting to make a difference."
