Civic Action Network

The Civic Action Network is a collaborative coalition of student organizations committed to exchanging ideas, engaging in deliberative dialogue, and creating programming in the area of civic engagement.

Started in 2019, this coalition aims to expand the culture of civic engagement on campus by bringing together likeminded leaders through civic action. The coalition invites you to connect through programs and stay informed about civic engagement activities through the Civic Action Newsletter (registration below), the Service Site, and by contacting us directly.

American Justice Corps

American Justice Corps is a student-led organization that focuses on mentorship, and has been developed for the purpose of minimizing the recidivism rate, or the rate of re-suspension, within Wake County Public School System. Additionally, we are working to help students break from the cycle of suspension to reduce the likelihood that they will become part of the School-To-Prison Pipeline.

Best Buddies

Our outreach programs empower the special abilities of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities by helping them form meaningful friendships with their peers, secure successful jobs, live independently, improve public speaking, self-advocacy and communication skills, and feel valued by society. NC State students are paired with someone in the community with a disability for the academic year. We also host fun social events for our buddy pairs throughout the year.

The NC State Chapter of Circle K International will be the prominent, inclusive, and
impactful student-led organization helping to improve the quality of life for the people of the Triangle Area with a focus on children and NC State students through service, leadership, and fellowship.
