Statewide Programs

The Center for Leadership and Civic Education is home to several statewide programs that promote and strengthen student service, service-learning and civic engagement throughout all levels of education in Florida. The Center created the Florida Alliance for Student Service (FASS) to enable Florida Campus Compact (for which FSU is the host institution), the Florida Community Higher Education School Partnership, Florida Learn and Serve and Florida VISTA to work cooperatively to multiply the resources and increase the capacity for schools and colleges to develop active citizens.

	Florida Campus Compact Florida Campus Compact promotes learning through service to develop student citizenship skills and values, encourage collaborative partnerships between campuses and communities and assist faculty who seek to integrate community engagement into their teaching and research.
	Florida Learn & Serve Florida Learn and Serve is a federally funded grant program that awards grants to schools and youth-serving organizations to engage youth in service learning.
	State Farm Florida Service Learning And Home Safety Initiative State Farm Insurance and the State Farm Companies Foundation have awarded funds to Florida to support student advocacy and information campaigns to raise awareness about the importance of building codes and disaster preparation. Florida schools, from kindergarten through higher education, can receive funds to have students learn about these issues and educate their peers, parents, and the public about them.
	VISTA The Florida Alliance for Student Service (FASS) VISTA Initiative enables students, through education and structured service-learning opportunities, to help communities find sustainable solutions to pressing social problems.
