Community Enrichment

Choose ANY ONE or a COMBINATION of Community based activity with the following guidelines in mind:

1. The activity should be personally meaningful to the student and make a significant impact on the lives of others.

2. The activity must be with a non-profit organization or individual(s) and must represent a “need” in the community.

3. The work is volunteer; students may not receive financial rewards or commodities in exchange for their activity.

• Transferred credits(college/high school).
• Community Service that has been court ordered.
• Monetary donations whether personal or through work.
• Activity used to generate income for a “for profit” organization/business.

What you CAN use for CE 101 credit:

• All volunteer military service (any military service after December, 1973 when mandatory draft ended) from all branches-active, discharged, reservists, & guard who have served “honorably.” Dishonorably discharged military personnel will not be considered for CE 101 credit through the “military option.”
• Existing projects/activities, combinations of activities, group activities, your own ideas (subject to approval by Feinstein Office).
• Activities related to your technology/academics such as mentoring/tutoring.
• NEIT club activities (if the activity addresses a college/community need).

Remember! You represent NEIT!

As NEIT students, you have a responsibility to any organization or individual you may
interact with in the community enrichment process.
Whether you are in class, or out participating as a volunteer in a community activity,
you should always act and dress in an appropriate manner.
Your presence in the community is an important part of your college experience and should be taken seriously.
Education is the beginning pathway to solving social problems.
Personal values, morals, and respect for diversity will be enhanced through community involvement.
