APPLY TO BE AN ACE FOR FALL 2012

 

ACE Program

In this paid position, an Advocate for Community Engagement (ACE) makes a one-year commitment to work on site at a Bay Area non-profit organization to facilitate meaningful service-learning experiences for USF students.

Primarily, the ACE acts as a liaison between the community organization, USF professors, and service-learning students to design and support service-learning projects.

 ACEs also participate in professional and personal development programs through the McCarthy Center; these trainings and meetings are designed to help ACEs develop the skills, knowledge and sensitivities for their work.  ACEs attend a four-day training prior to beginning the Fall semester, and an off-campus retreat during Winter Break in order to prepare for the Spring semester.  ACEs are offered opportunities throughout the year to attend conferences and speak at other service-learning engagements, when possible.

 

To learn more about the ACE program, please attend an info session:

Tuesday, March 6 from 11:45 - 12:40   OR   Thursday, March 8 from 11:45 - 12:40

 

APPLICATIONS DUE MARCH 21, 2:00 PM
