Our Purpose
"Transforming underserved K-12 communities through programs and partnerships in the classroom and beyond."
Welcome to the Center for Educational Outreach & Engagement (CEOE) website. Auburn University is dedicated to empowering youth and schools within our community. Our mission through CEOE is to create opportunities for our youth, schools and the community. We aim to develop new programs and enhance existing ones to better prepare the youth in our state for college and careers.
As we help prepare the students of Alabama for successful post-secondary and career experiences, we are mindful of the 21st-century skills they will need as global citizens. Hence, CEOE will include programs and experiences that enhance international exchange and expand the global capabilities of our students.
Outreach Ambassadors are students who are dedicated to assisting Auburn University Outreach in developing, promoting, and supporting university programs that serve the broader community. Come join us in making a difference!
