Community and Civic Engagement Certificate

Give back to your community. Learn how to create positive change. Understand your role in a global society.

About the Certificate

The Community & Civic Engagement certificate will help students become active citizens working toward positive social change in our ever-changing world. Through various educational opportunities, students will develop a strong foundation of knowledge that will prepare them to be leaders in our local, national, and global communities.

Students will get a chance to put their knowledge into action through various service-learning experiences in the local community that will connect theory to practice. This certificate seeks to provide students with the knowledge, hands-on experience, and critical thinking skills needed to be active citizens during their time at UB and beyond.
