Center for Community Research and Engagement

The Center for Community Research and Engagement (CCRE) was created in 1997 to coordinate the activities of Seton Hall University as it implements service learning and community-based research on campus. 

The mission of the Center for Community Research and Engagement is to develop partnerships that integrate Seton Hall University faculty, students, staff and our neighboring communities through applied research, active learning, and action projects, aimed at enhancing both the learning environment and community capacity.

The Center for Community Research and Engagement is constantly striving to develop and sustain meaningful partnerships with local organizations and individuals who share our passion for service. CCRE is abuzz with a wide variety of opportunities for SHU students looking to enhance their academic experience by volunteering their time, effort and talents to populations in need. From infant, toddler and preschool care, to food insecurity and addiction recovery support, there is a meaningful experience available for every volunteer. CCRE currently offers service programs seven days of the week, including virtual opportunities. Students should request access to CCRE on Engage to view and register for any available programs.
