The Civic and Community Engagement Center’s Leaders in Service program allows incoming first-year and transfer students the opportunity to get involved with service projects, political engagement, and leadership opportunities at Ramapo before their first semester begins.

How will LIS help me get involved at Ramapo?

Through LIS, you have a chance to connect with other new students before the fall semester starts. You will be able to form friendships and create partnerships with community organizations, on and off-campus. In addition, you are introduced to many leadership opportunities through a variety of campus organizations and clubs.

Students who complete the LIS summer session are able to attend monthly workshops during the academic year covering topics on civic engagement, leadership development, and skill-building.

  • Learn about the impact of civic engagement & how to get involved in your community
  • Develop leadership skills as an incoming first-year student
  • Become active in the Ramapo community as a primary step toward future success
  • Make a difference within community service and civic leadership events

The fee for Leaders in Service is $75. This fee covers the opening reception/dinner on the first evening for you and 2 guests, all of the activities during the program, all meals, your LIS t-shirt, and water bottle, and monthly activities. If this fee is a barrier to your participation, please reach out to us at ccec@ramapo.edu
