GivingCenter for Community Engagement
Welcome! The Center for Community Engagement (CCE) is at the heart of Trinity’s commitment to be engaged as active partners with our neighbors in Everett, Snohomish County, and the greater Puget Sound community.
The CCE fosters relationships with community partners that connect service opportunities with student academic learning. We believe these contexts allow students to cultivate a sense of servant leadership; grow in body, mind, and spirit; and encounter God who is active in the world. In fact, a core value of Trinity’s Living-Learning Community model is “learning by doing” – that students learn not only in the classroom, but through daily life experiences.
Service Learning Practicum
The Service Learning Practicum (SLP) program provides Trinity students with the opportunity to both learn and serve within the community by volunteering 3-5 hours per week within a local organization. Placement options include teaching in a preschool, tutoring inner-city youth, visiting nursing home residents, serving meals in a shelter, leading youth Bible studies, and more.

Practicum and Internships
Most degree programs at Trinity require a practicum or internship as part of course requirements, generally during the junior or senior year. Organizations interested in serving as potential internships sites should contact the appropriate department chair directly for information. See a list of program faculty.
Posting Employment Opportunities
