Student Organization Service Project Guidelines

Student at community event

NCCU’s Office of Community Engagement and Service (OCES) supports students in meeting their community engagement academic requirements. We encourage philanthropy leaders of the organization to coordinate service projects with a non-profit organization registered with OCES.

All service projects must follow CDC, state, and University guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

  1. Service projects must have direct or virtual service contact with an organization on or off campus. The activity must result in a direct or virtual encounter and a benefit to the community organization.
  2. Project proposals must be submitted to OCES three (3) weeks in advance. OCES staff will contact the organization two weeks before the event to indicate approval and service credits that can be granted for the event.

Note on Collecting Donations

When students collect donations, they should also plan an activity with the organization for which contributions are being collected.

To apply, students should submit a proposal.

Please contact the OCES assistant director of Community Partnerships, Ms. Ruby Messick, at [email protected] for potential community partnership requests.
