Before Florida Tech's Civic Engagement Initiative (CEI) can share your organization's service opportunities with our students/faculty/staff, you must register your organization as a Community Partner. This process helps us ensure that we are promoting organizations that have the best interests & safety of our students, faculty, and staff as a top priority.
