Leveraging the membership of Community Engineering Corps’ alliance partners – American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Water Works Association, and Engineers Without Borders USA – we bring more than 200,000 technical professionals and students together to serve communities across the United States. These individuals volunteer their time and expertise to assist communities that do not have the resources to access engineering services. With a strong commitment to community-driven projects, our volunteers work alongside community members to design solutions to identified problems.
Mission
Community Engineering Corps brings underserved communities and volunteers together to advance local engineering solutions.Vision
All communities in the United States have the infrastructure they need to thrive.Values

Provide solutions based on genuine community engagement that consider technical, managerial, and financial capacity along with environmental stewardship.
Knowledge Sharing
Foster an environment of learning, so volunteers, communities, and staff have the tools and training to address the challenges they face.
Social Responsibility
Promote solutions that improve equity in access to public infrastructure, consider the particular needs of diverse populations, and engage volunteers that reflect the communities they serve.
Elevate Awareness
Advocating strong volunteers and leaders to elevate the systemic issues of inadequate infrastructure to the attention of stakeholders and identify future leaders.
As a program that addresses infrastructure needs in underserved communities, CECorps recognizes that systemic racism and infrastructure development are deeply interlinked. Infrastructure design has historically been a powerful tool to exclude and marginalize specific groups of people creating injustices in communities that still exist today. We are committed to building infrastructure that improves equity in access to resources and opportunity in our partner communities.
CECorps continues to learn and grow in our efforts to support those that are marginalized by infrastructure inequities. We welcome your ideas, feedback, and comments. Please contact us here.
