How to Get Involved

Community Partners

Before Florida Tech's Civic Engagement Initiative (CEI) can share your organization's service opportunities with our students/faculty/staff, you must register your organization as a Community Partner. This process helps us ensure that we are promoting organizations that have the best interests & safety of our students, faculty, and staff as a top priority.

4. Shoutouts and highlights on Florida Tech's CEI social media, websites, and newsletters
5. Be included in a supportive network of agencies dedicated to making their communities better places to live
