Critically-engaged civic learning is an approach to civic engagement work that uses a stakeholder cloverleaf in which constituents from all four stakeholder groups (community members, community organizations, students, and educational institutions) equitably co-design, implement, and evaluate CECL initiatives. This approach places the needs of students on an equitable power axis alongside the needs of all other invested stakeholders. The center co-created the CECL framework as a replacement for traditional service-learning and is the lens for the center’s professional development opportunities.
