Emory's Center for Civic and Community Engagement (CCE) focuses on developing Emory students as engaged scholars by producing graduates who are socially-conscious leaders and global citizens and who are actively engaged in local communities. What better office in which to house Graduation Generation (GradGen) at Emory! Through Emory’s CCE, GradGen gives Emory students opportunities to provide service to others and to see service to others as privilege. We support the experiential learning of Emory students and share this approach with K-12 students. This approach aligns with GradGen’s themes of college and career readiness, preparation, and exposure; and has yielded tangible outcomes—not only for Emory students, but for K-12 students within the GradGen service area.
Funds raised will go directly toward our programs supporting K-12 students in Metro Atlanta. An expansion of our funds allows us to improve both the quality and quantity of our program offerings, making our connections more numerous and effective. Through gifts to our K-12 students, snacks, school supplies, increased transportation services, and a multitude of other offerings, the funds we raise will help us create and strengthen community in Metro Atlanta schools and on Emory's campus.
